Exegesis
The warning begins with the imperative hishamer {הִשָּׁמֶר | hiššāmer} ‘beware!’
In context — Deuteronomy 15:9
Beware for yourself, lest there be a worthless matter in your heart, saying, “The seventh year, the year of release draws near,” and your eye is evil toward your needy brother, and you do not give him anything, and he calls out against you to the LORD , and it becomes sin in you.
