Sirach 34:16-18

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁶ The eyes of the Lord are upon those who love him,
    a mighty protection and strong support,
a shelter from the hot wind and a shade from noonday sun,
    a guard against stumbling and a defense against falling.
¹⁷ He lifts up the soul and gives light to the eyes;
    he grants healing, life, and blessing.

¹⁸ If one sacrifices from what has been wrongfully obtained, the offering is blemished;^[a]
    the gifts^[b] of the lawless are not acceptable.
