Deuteronomy 15:8 in Context — Deuteronomy 15

6 Ya que Jehová tu Dios te habrá bendecido, como te ha dicho, prestarás entonces á muchas gentes, mas tú no tomarás prestado; y enseñorearte has de muchas gentes, pero de ti no se enseñorearán.

7 Cuando hubiere en ti menesteroso de alguno de tus hermanos en alguna de tus ciudades, en tu tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da, no endurecerás tu corazón, ni cerrarás tu mano á tu hermano pobre:

8 Mas abrirás á él tu mano liberalmente, y en efecto le prestarás lo que basta, lo que hubiere menester.

9 Guárdate que no haya en tu corazón perverso pensamiento, diciendo: Cerca está el año séptimo, el de la remisión; y tu ojo sea maligno sobre tu hermano menesteroso para no darle: que él podrá clamar contra ti á Jehová, y se te imputará á pecado.

10 Sin falta le darás, y no sea tu corazón maligno cuando le dieres: que por ello te bendecirá Jehová tu Dios en todos tus hechos, y en todo lo que pusieres mano.
