Sirach 34:23
Print
The Most High is not pleased with the offerings of the ungodly, nor will he forgive sins for a multitude of sacrifices.
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.
When one person builds and somebody else tears down, has anything been accomplished but hard work?
The Most High is not pleased with the gifts of the godless, nor for their many sacrifices does he forgive their sins.
The Most High takes no pleasure in the offerings of the godless, nor do their many sacrifices gain his pardon for their sins.
The Most High is not pleased with the offerings of the ungodly, nor for a multitude of sacrifices does he forgive sins.
The Most High is not pleased with the offerings of the ungodly, nor for a multitude of sacrifices does he forgive sins.
The Most High is not pleased with the offerings of the ungodly, nor for a multitude of sacrifices does he forgive sins.
The Most High is not pleased with the offerings of the ungodly, nor for a multitude of sacrifices does he forgive sins.
When one builds and another tears down, what do they gain but toil?
When one builds and another tears down, what do they gain but toil?
One building, and one destroying; what profiteth it to them, no but travail?
