Beware 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.

ગુજરાતીપુનર્નિયમ ૧૫:૯
પણ સાવધ રહો, રખેને તમારા મનમાં એવો દુષ્ટ વિચાર આવે કે સાતમું વર્ષ એટલે છુટકારાનું વર્ષ પાસે છે. અને તમારી દાનત તમારા ગરીબ ભાઈની વિરુદ્ધ બગડે અને તમે તેને કંઈ ન આપો. અને તે યહોવાહની આગળ પોકાર કરે તો તમે દોષિત ઠરશો.
हिन्दीव्यवस्थाविवरण १५:९
सचेत रह कि तेरे मन में ऐसी अधर्मी चिन्ता न समाए , कि सातवाँ वर्ष जो छुटकारे का वर्ष है वह निकट है, और अपनी दृष्टि तू अपने उस दरिद्र भाई की ओर से क्रूर करके उसे कुछ न दे, और वह तेरे विरुद्ध यहोवा की दुहाई दे, तो यह तेरे लिये पाप ठहरेगा।

In context

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.

11For the poor will never cease out of the land. Therefore I command you to surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.
