Sirach 35:12-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 Give to the Most High as he has given to you
and as generously as you can afford.(A)
13 For the Lord is the one who repays,
and he will repay you sevenfold.(B)
Divine Justice
14 Do not offer him a bribe, for he will not accept it,
15 and do not rely on a dishonest sacrifice,
for the Lord is the judge,
and with him there is no partiality.(C)
16 He will not show partiality to the poor,
but he will listen to the prayer of one who is wronged.(D)
17 He will not ignore the supplication of the orphan
or the widow when she pours out her complaint.(E)
