(Devarim 15:11) "for a poor man will not cease from the midst of the land": And elsewhere it is written (Ibid. 4) "But, there shall not be in you a poor man." How are these two verses to be reconciled? When you do the will of the L-rd, the poor will be in others (i.e., the gentiles); but when you do not do the will of the L-rd, the poor will be in you.
