As an aside, I am now studying Isaiah, and am into chapter 32. This passage is relevant to the conversation, I believe:
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.

6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.

8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.

Funny how that happens.

Like this verse...

Ecclesiasties 10:2 A wise man’s heart inclines him to the right, but a fool’s heart to the left.
