1
The merciful lend to their neighbors; by holding out a helping hand they keep the commandments.
2
Lend to your neighbor in his time of need; repay your neighbor when a loan falls due.
3
Keep your promise and be honest with him, and on every occasion you will find what you need.
4
Many regard a loan as a windfall, and cause trouble to those who help them.
5
One kisses another's hands until he gets a loan, and is deferential in speaking of his neighbor's money; but at the time for repayment he delays, and pays back with empty promises, and finds fault with the time.
