Sirach 35: 12-14, 16-18
| 35:12 | Give to the Most High according to his gifts to you, and act with a good eye toward the creations of your hands. |
| 35:13 | For the Lord gives recompense, and he will repay you seven times as much. |
| 35:14 |
Do not be willing to offer corrupt gifts. For he will not accept them. |
| 35:16 | The Lord will not accept favoritism against the poor, but he will heed the prayer of one who has been harmed. |
| 35:17 | He will not despise the prayers of the orphan, nor of the widow, if she utters a lamenting complaint. |
| 35:18 | Do a widow’s tears not run down her cheek? And will her outcry not cause their downfall? |
