11 For the poor will never cease out of the land: therefore I command you, saying, You shall surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 11. For the feeling of its own insufficiency and the endeavour after higher attainments will never cease in the regenerating soul; therefore it is the Lord's will that the soul should endeavour with all its powers to satisfy those spiritual aspirations of the soul, when it feels its deficiency of truth and desires more, and when it feels its own evil and seeks after good.
