પરંતુ તેમના પ્રત્યે તમારો હાથ ઉદાર રાખો અને તેની અછતને લીધે જેટલાંની તેમને જરૂરિયાત હોય તે પ્રમાણે આપો.

जिस वस्तु की घटी उसको हो, उसकी जितनी आवश्यकता हो उतना अवश्य अपना हाथ ढीला करके उसको उधार देना।

In context

6For the LORD your God will bless you, as he promised you. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. You will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.

7If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;

8but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, which he lacks.

9Beware that there not be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, “The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,” and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing; and he cry to the LORD against you, and it be sin to you.

10You shall surely give, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because it is for this thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you put your hand to.
