Sirach 35:17LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 17 of 26
"He will not despise the prayers of the fatherless; nor the widow, when she poureth out her complaint."
In context
15And look not upon an unjust sacrifice, for the Lord is judge, and there is not with him respect of person.
16The Lord will not accept any person against a poor man, and he will hear the prayer of him that is wronged.
17He will not despise the prayers of the fatherless; nor the widow, when she poureth out her complaint.
18Do not the widow’s tears run down the cheek, and her cry against him that causeth them to fall?
19For from the cheek they go up even to heaven, and the Lord that heareth will not be delighted with them.
