Sirach 7:36LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 36 of 40
"And stretch out thy hand to the poor, that thy expiation and thy blessing may be perfected."
In context
34Give them their portion, as it is commanded thee, of the firstfruits and of purifications: and for thy negligences purify thyself with a few.
35Offer to the Lord the gift of thy shoulders, and the sacrifice of sanctification, and the firstfruits of the holy things:
36And stretch out thy hand to the poor, that thy expiation and thy blessing may be perfected.
37A gift hath grace in the sight of all the living, and restrain not grace from the dead.
38Be not wanting in comforting them that weep, and walk with them that mourn.
