⁸ Nevertheless, be patient with someone in humble circumstances,
   and do not keep him waiting for your alms.
⁹ Help the poor for the commandment’s sake,
   and in their need do not send them away empty-handed.
¹⁰ Lose your silver for the sake of a brother or a friend,
   and do not let it rust under a stone and be lost.
¹¹ Lay up your treasure according to the commandments of the Most High,
   and it will profit you more than gold.
¹² Store up almsgiving in your treasury,
   and it will rescue you from every disaster;
¹³ better than a stout shield and a sturdy spear,
   it will fight for you against the enemy.
