EXOD702 (Continued from [[DEUT1547]] Deuteronomy 28:47 serve AHAVCH 104). Suppose a certain person did not want to serve God joyfully. He did not extend the kindness to his fellow Jew that befitted his means and through which he would have fulfilled the positive Torah commandment [this verse]: "When you lend money…" Had he behaved properly his money would have eventually come back to him. Now he will, inevitably, lose many times that sum to strangers and he will be powerless to recover it from them. Even if a person does give some charity and performs some chesed with his money, but not in accordance with his means, then his money may become forfeited as a result. A curse will become attached to it. If others engage in a business venture with him, their capital will be lost because of him. (See Kethuvoth 66b/67a concerning the dwindling of Nakdimon ben Gurion's daughter's wealth).
