13 As for anyone stopping up his ear from the complaining cry of the lowly one,+ he himself also will call and not be answered.+

15 And there was found in it a man,* needy [but]* wise, and that one provided escape for the city by his wisdom.+ But no man remembered that needy man.+

6 because the senseless one himself will speak mere senselessness,+ and his very heart will work at what is hurtful,+ to work at apostasy+ and to speak against Jehovah what is wayward, to cause the soul of the hungry one to go empty,+ and he causes even the thirsty one to go without drink itself.

38 Practice giving, and people will give to YOU.+ They will pour into YOUR laps* a fine measure, pressed down, shaken together and overflowing. For with the measure that YOU are measuring out, they will measure out to YOU in return.”+
