“Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender.”
Proverbs 19:17 (BSB)
Context Reading
15Laziness brings on deep sleep, and an idle soul will suffer hunger. 16He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul, but he who is careless in his ways will die. 17Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender. 18Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be party to his death. 19A man of great anger must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do so again.
