Deuteronomy 15:7 in Context — Deuteronomy 15

5 pourvu seulement que tu obéisses à la voix de l’Éternel, ton Dieu, en mettant soigneusement en pratique tous ces commandements que je te prescris aujourd’hui.

6 L’Éternel, ton Dieu, te bénira comme il te l’a dit, tu prêteras à beaucoup de nations, et tu n’emprunteras point; tu domineras sur beaucoup de nations, et elles ne domineront point sur toi.

7 S’il y a chez toi quelque indigent d’entre tes frères, dans l’une de tes portes, au pays que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne, tu n’endurciras point ton cœur et tu ne fermeras point ta main devant ton frère indigent.

8 Mais tu lui ouvriras ta main, et tu lui prêteras de quoi pourvoir à ses besoins.

9 Garde-toi d’être assez méchant pour dire en ton cœur: La septième année, l’année du relâche, approche! Garde-toi d’avoir un œil sans pitié pour ton frère indigent et de lui faire un refus. Il crierait à l’Éternel contre toi, et tu te chargerais d’un péché.
