That's very different from saying you shouldn't help people in a famine. Jesus also said, "blessed are the poor" full stop in Matthew. Also the KJV version is a pretty inaccurate translation and I don't know why people quote it in 2025 when there are translations that are both more accurate and more comprehensible.

I never claimed that it said that.

It's the version I am familiar with and thus the version that I used.
I think the point is there is a big difference between "He who does not work shall not eat" and "...anyone who was unwilling to work should not eat". Specifically the clause "unwilling to work".
