Sirach 7:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ Don’t say,
“He will look at the heap of my gifts,
    and when I make an offering
    to the Most High, he will accept it.”
¹⁰ Don’t be timid in your prayer,
    and don’t neglect caring for those in need.
¹¹ Don’t mock a person
who is bitter in spirit;
    for there’s one who humbles
    and who exalts.
