Whoso bringeth an offering of the goods of the poor doeth as one that killeth the son before
his father's eyes.
21
The bread of the needy is their life: he that defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood.
22
He that taketh away his neighbour's living slayeth him; and he that defraudeth the labourer
of his hire is a bloodshedder.
23
When one buildeth, and another pulleth down, what profit have they then but labour?
24
When one prayeth, and another curseth, whose voice will the Lord hear?
25
He that washeth himself after the touching of a dead body, if he touch it again, what availeth
his washing?
26
So is it with a man that fasteth for his sins, and goeth again, and doeth the same: who will
hear his prayer? or what doth his humbling profit him?
CHAPTER 35
He that keepeth the law bringeth offerings enough: he that taketh heed to the commandment offereth
a peace offering.
2
He that requiteth a goodturn offereth fine flour; and he that giveth alms sacrificeth praise.
3
To depart from wickedness is a thing pleasing to the Lord; and to forsake unrighteousness is
a propitiation.

are to be done
because of the commandment.
6
The offering of the righteous maketh the altar fat, and the sweet savour thereof is before the
most High.
7
The sacrifice of a just man is acceptable. and the memorial thereof shall never be forgotten.
8
Give the Lord his honour with a good eye, and diminish not the firstfruits of thine hands.
9
In all thy gifts shew a cheerful countenance, and dedicate thy tithes with gladness.
10
Give unto the most High according as he hath enriched thee; and as thou hast gotten, give
with a cheerful eye.
11
For the Lord recompenseth, and will give thee seven times as much.
12
Do not think to corrupt with gifts; for such he will not receive: and trust not to unrighteous
sacrifices; for the Lord is judge, and with him is no respect of persons.
13
He will not accept any person against a poor man, but will hear the prayer of the oppressed.
14
He will not despise the supplication of the fatherless; nor the widow, when she poureth out
her complaint.
15
Do not the tears run down the widow's cheeks? and is not her cry against him that causeth
them to fall?
