Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than the birds!And which of you by worrying can add an hour to his life?So if you cannot do such a very little thing as this, why do you worry about the rest?Consider how the flowers grow; they do not work or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these!And if this is how God clothes the wild grass, which is here today and tomorrow is tossed into the fire to heat the oven, how much more will he clothe you, you people of little faith!

but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God.

Think about how the flowers of the field grow; they do not work or spin.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these!And if this is how God clothes the wild grass, which is here today and tomorrow is tossed into the fire to heat the oven, won’t he clothe you even more, you people of little faith?

When you see your neighbor’s ox or sheep going astray, do not ignore it; you must return it without fail to your neighbor.If the owner does not live near you or you do not know who the owner is, then you must corral the animal at your house and let it stay with you until the owner looks for it; then you must return it to him.You shall do the same to his donkey, his clothes, or anything else your neighbor has lost and you have found; you must not refuse to get involved.When you see your neighbor’s donkey or ox fallen along the road, do not ignore it; instead, you must be sure to help him get the animal on its feet again.

Then the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam,“ What have I done to you that you have beaten me these three times?”And Balaam said to the donkey,“ You have made me look stupid; I wish there were a sword in my hand, for I would kill you right now.”The donkey said to Balaam,“ Am not I your donkey that you have ridden ever since I was yours until this day? Have I ever attempted to treat you this way?” And he said,“ No.”Then the LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way with his sword drawn in his hand; so he bowed his head and threw himself down with his face to the ground.The angel of the LORD said to him,“ Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? Look, I came out to oppose you because what you are doing is perverse before me.The donkey saw me and turned from me these three times. If she had not turned from me, I would have killed you but saved her alive.”Balaam said to the angel of the LORD,“ I have sinned, for I did not know that you stood against me in the road. So now, if it is evil in your sight, I will go back home.”But the angel of the LORD said to Balaam,“ Go with the men, but you may only speak the word that I will speak to you.” So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
