Sirach 35:14-16

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

Divine Justice

¹⁴Do 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.
¹⁶He will not show partiality to the poor;
    but he will listen to the prayer of one who is wronged.
