7. Now I will declare unto you what I

‹ Section 6 Section 8 ›

did

,

I

saw

a

man

in

distress

and

nakedness

in

wintertime

,

and

had

compassion

upon

him

,

and

stole

away

a

garment

secretly

from

my

house

,

and

gave

it

to

him

who

was

in

distress

.

Do

you

therefore

,

my

children

,

from

that

which

God

bestoweth

upon

you

,

show

compassion

and

mercy

impartially

to

all

men

,

and

give

to

every

man

with

a

good

heart

.

And

if

ye

have

not

at

the

time

wherewith

to

give

to

him

that

asketh

you

,

have

compassion

for

him

in

bowels

of

mercy

.

I

know

that

my

hand

found

not

at

the

time

wherewith

to

give

to

him

that

asked

me

,

and

I

walked

with

him

weeping

for

more

than

seven

furlongs

,

and

my

bowels

yearned

towards

him

unto

compassion

.
