1 He shows mercy who lends to his neighbor, for he keeps the commandments by strengthening him.
2 Lend to your neighbor in his time of need, and receive it again from your neighbor in his time.
3 Keep your word, and act faithfully with him, and then you will find whatever you need in every time.
4 Many have treated a loan like found money, and they offered trouble to those who helped them.
5 Until they receive, they kiss the hands of the giver, and they humble their voice in promises.
6 But at the time of repayment, they will ask for more time, and they will speak annoying and complaining words, and they will make excuses for the time.
