9 Watch out for yourself for fear a base word* should come to be in your heart,+ saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of the release,* has come close,’+ and your eye should indeed become ungenerous toward your poor brother,+ and you should give him nothing, and he has to call out to Jehovah against you,+ and it has become a sin on your part.+

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.+

7 Certainly, then, shall not God cause justice+ to be done for his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night, even though he is long-suffering+ toward them?
