DEUTERONOMY 15:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.”
There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land — the frank acknowledgment that poverty persists despite covenant blessing establishes that care for the poor is permanent duty, not temporary problem-solving. The poor will always be present.
