Psalms
Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
Proverbs
Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
Ecclesiastes
And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
