Wisdom of Ben Sira 34:23-25
New Catholic Bible
23 The Most High takes no pleasure in the offerings of the godless,
nor do their many sacrifices gain his pardon for their sins.
24 Like the man who slays a son in his father’s presence
is the one who offers a sacrifice taken from the possessions of the poor.
25 The bread of charity is life itself to the poor;
whoever deprives them of it is a murderer.
