Sirach 7:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁹ Do not say, ‘He will consider the great number of my gifts,
    and when I make an offering to the Most High God, he will accept it.’
¹⁰ Do not grow weary when you pray;
    do not neglect to give alms.
¹¹ Do not ridicule a person who is embittered in spirit,
    for there is One who humbles and exalts.
