It is well with those who deal generously and lend, who conduct their affairs with justice.
They have distributed freely; they have given to the poor; their righteousness endures forever; their horn is exalted in honor.
They are ever giving liberally and lending, and their children become a blessing.

Those who steal must give up stealing; rather, let them labor, doing good work with their own hands, so as to have something to share with the needy.
