27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
27 Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.
27 Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse.
27 Be generous to the poor - you'll never go hungry; shut your eyes to their needs, and run a gauntlet of curses.
27 He who gives to the poor will not lack, But he who hides his eyes will have many curses.
27 Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed.

(Read Proverbs 28:27)
A selfish man not only will not look out for objects of compassion, but will look off from those that call for his attention.
