Sirach 34:24LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 24 of 31
"He that offereth sacrifice of the goods of the poor, is as one that sacrificeth the son in the presence of his father."
In context
22The Lord is only for them that wait upon him in the way of truth and justice.
23The most High approveth not the gifts of the wicked: neither hath he respect to the oblations of the unjust, nor will he be pacified for sins by the multitude of their sacrifices.
24He that offereth sacrifice of the goods of the poor, is as one that sacrificeth the son in the presence of his father.
25The bread of the needy, is the life of the poor: he that defraudeth them thereof, is a man of blood.
26He that taketh away the bread gotten by sweat, is like him that killeth his neighbour.
