Augustine of Hippo, on Prov 28:27
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Prov 28:27 · Douay-Rheims
“He that giveth to the poor, shall not want: he that despiseth his entreaty, shall suffer indigence.”
On this verse:
“Don't forget that rule, where it says, "Whoever gives to the poor will never be in want." Have you already forgotten what the Lord is going to say to those who have given to the poor: "Come, blessed of my Father, receive the kingdom"?”
