Sirach 35:7-13

1. 7 The sacrifice of a just man is acceptable. and the memorial thereof shall never be forgotten.

2. 8 Give the Lord his honour with a good eye, and diminish not the firstfruits of thine hands.

3. 9 In all thy gifts shew a cheerful countenance, and dedicate thy tithes with gladness.

4. 10 Give unto the most High according as he hath enriched thee; and as thou hast gotten, give with a cheerful eye.

5. 11 For the Lord recompenseth, and will give thee seven times as much.

6. 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.

7. 13 He will not accept any person against a poor man, but will hear the prayer of the oppressed.
