Sirach 35:12-17

Common English Bible

¹² Give to the Most High as he has given,
    and give with generosity
    from what you have,
¹³     because the Lord is the one who repays,
    and he will repay you seven times over.

¹⁴ Don’t offer a bribe,
because the Lord won’t accept it.
¹⁵     Don’t present an unrighteous sacrifice,
    because the Lord is a judge,
    and he shows no partiality.
¹⁶ God will not be partial to the poor,
    but he will listen to the complaint
    of those who are wronged.
¹⁷ God will never ignore an orphan’s plea,
    nor that of a widow
    when she pours out a complaint.
