Sirach 34:21

On sacrifice and worship

21 When someone sacrifices something unjustly gotten, the offering is flawed;

Sirach 34:21 In-Context

19 The Lord's eyes are upon those who love him. The Lord is a powerful shield, a strong support, a shelter from the heat, a shade from the midday sun, a guard against stumbling, and a help against falling;
20 one who lifts up the spirit, one who gives light to the eyes, and one who gives healing for life and blessing.
21 When someone sacrifices something unjustly gotten, the offering is flawed;
22 the gifts of those who don't follow the Law are not acceptable.
23 The Most High is not pleased with the offerings of the ungodly, nor will he forgive sins for a multitude of sacrifices.
