Sirach 34:24
Someone who brings a sacrifice that comes from the property of the needy is like someone who slaughters a son in the presence of his father.
He that offereth sacrifice of the goods of the poor, is as one that sacrificeth the son in the presence of his father.
When one person blesses and somebody else curses, which one is the Lord going to listen to?
One who slays a son in his father’s presence— whoever offers sacrifice from the holdings of the poor.
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.
Like one who kills a son before his father’s eyes is the person who offers a sacrifice from the property of the poor.
Like one who kills a son before his father’s eyes is the person who offers a sacrifice from the property of the poor.
Like one who kills a son before his father’s eyes is the person who offers a sacrifice from the property of the poor.
Like one who kills a son before his father’s eyes is the person who offers a sacrifice from the property of the poor.
When one prays and another curses, to whose voice will the Lord listen?
When one prays and another curses, to whose voice will the Lord listen?
One praying, and one cursing; whose voice shall the Lord hear?
