Prov 19:16      Prov 19:18

Proverbs 19:17

He who treats the needy with mercy (favor, undeserved love – Hebr. chanan) [he who bends down and helps the poor] lends to (braids/twines himself together with) the Lord (Yahweh)
and he rewards him with security [Hebr. shalem – i.e., he receives peace of mind and all his needs are met].
[The verb to lend (Hebr. lava) begins the verse and literally means "to twist together/braid together." The emphasis here is on the one who does the Lord's bidding to help someone who has fallen into trouble (usually of a financial nature). Hebr. dal (distressed, helpless, weak) literally means minus/subtraction and describes something that has been lost. The Hebrew can be interpreted to mean that both the afflicted and the one who lends to the Lord are fully repaid by him.]
