Sirach 34:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² The Lord is only for them that wait upon him in the way of truth and justice.

²³ The 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.

²⁴ He that offereth sacrifice of the goods of the poor, is as one that sacrificeth the son in the presence of his father.
