For the poor will never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt surely open thy hand unto thy brother, to thy needy, and to thy poor, in thy land.

For there will never be a time when there are no poor in the land; and so I give orders to you, Let your hand be open to your countrymen, to those who are poor and in need in your land.

Διοτι δεν θελει λειψει πτωχος εκ μεσου της γης σου· δια τουτο εγω προσταζω εις σε, λεγων, Θελεις εξαπαντος ανοιγει την χειρα σου προς τον αδελφον σου, προς τον πτωχον σου και προς τον ενδεη σου επι της γης σου.

For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
