Sirach 7:31-35
-
31 Fear the Lord, and honor the priest; and give him his portion, as it is commanded thee; the firstfruits, and the trespass offering, and the gift of the shoulders, and the sacrifice of sanctification, and the firstfruits of the holy things.
-
32 And stretch thine hand unto the poor, that thy blessing may be perfected.
-
33 A gift hath grace in the sight of every man living; and for the dead detain it not.
-
34 Fail not to be with them that weep, and mourn with them that mourn.
-
35 Be not slow to visit the sick: for that shall make thee to be beloved.
