Penury:

pen'-u-ri (machcor): In Pr 14:23, with sense of "poverty," "want": "The talk of the lips tendeth only to penury." In the New Testament the word in Lu 21:4 (husterema) is in the Revised Version (British and American) translated "want" (of the widow's mites).

King James Dictionary

Penury: Poverty; Need.

And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: for all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her PENURY hath cast in all the living that she had. (Luke 21:1-4)
