Deuteronomy 15:4

Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:

KJV

Et omnino indigens et mendicus non erit inter vos : ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in terra, quam traditurus est tibi in possessionem.

Vulgate

ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἐν σοὶ ἐνδεής, ὅτι εὐλογῶν εὐλογήσει σε Κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐν τῇ γῇ ᾗ Κύριος ὁ θεός σου δίδωσίν σοι ἐν κλήρῳ κατακληρονομεῖν σε αὐτήν·

LXX

Howbeit there shall be no poor with thee (for Jehovah will surely bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it),

ASV

אֶ֕פֶס כִּ֛י לֹ֥א יִֽהְיֶה בְּ/ךָ֖ אֶבְי֑וֹן כִּֽי בָרֵ֤ךְ יְבָֽרֶכְ/ךָ֙ יְהוָ֔ה בָּ/אָ֕רֶץ אֲשֶׁר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔י/ךָ נֹֽתֵן לְ/ךָ֥ נַחֲלָ֖ה לְ/רִשְׁתָּֽ/הּ
