If I have withheld anything that the poor desired, or if I have caused the eyes of the widow to fail. Job 31:16
“In order that it might not appear that by humanely treating his servants, he [Job] did not practice a real liberality but only took care of his property, he says that he tended the hand of mercy and benevolence to strangers as well. In a different sense, one who does not wait to satisfy the desire of the needy donates without the slightest hesitation. The caring affection of the merciful offers everything, because he thinks that everything must be asked of him.”
