World Hunger

For the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.’

He who has a generous eye will be blessed, For he gives of his bread to the poor.

For You have been a strength to the poor, A strength to the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, A shade from the heat; For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

If you extend your soul to the hungry And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light shall dawn in the darkness, And your darkness shall be as the noonday.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;

He has filled the hungry with good things, And the rich He has sent away empty.

And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share,

They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat;
