Proverbs 19:17

17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and will be repaid in full.

Proverbs 19:17 In-Context

15 Laziness brings on deep sleep; an idle person will suffer hunger.
16 Those who keep the commandment will live; those who are heedless of their ways will die.
17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and will be repaid in full.
18 Discipline your children while there is hope; do not set your heart on their destruction.
19 A violent tempered person will pay the penalty; if you effect a rescue, you will only have to do it again.
