⁷ “If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the Lord your God is giving you, ^(A)you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother,

¹¹ For ^(A)there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ^(B)‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’
