And Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, spoke to him and said, From the beginning of the bringing of the heave offering to the house of Jehovah, it was eaten, and it satisfied, and abundance was left; for Jehovah has blessed His people, and this abundance is left.
Sow your seed in the morning, and do not rest your hand until evening; for you do not know what shall succeed, this or that; or whether they both shall be good as one.
You have sown much, and brought in little; you eat, but not to satiety; you drink, but not to be filled; you dress, but there is no warmth to one. And one hiring out himself hires out himself for a bag of holes.
Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down and shaken together, and running over, they will give into your bosom. For the same measure which you measure, it will be measured back to you.
Giving you shall give to him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because Jehovah your God will bless you for this thing, in all your work, and in all that you put your hand to.
