Leviticus 25:19
17 Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.
18 You are to keep My statutes and carefully observe My judgments, so that you may dwell securely in the land.
Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat your fill and dwell in safety in the land.
20 Now you may wonder, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow or gather our produce?’
21 But I will send My blessing upon you in the sixth year, so that the land will yield a crop sufficient for three years.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
