Sirach 7:33

33 The kindness of a gift stands before all who are alive; moreover, don't withhold kindness from the dead.

Sirach 7:33 In-Context

31 Fear the Lord and honor the priest. Give the priest his portion, just as you were commanded: early produce, a sin offering, the gift of the shoulders, the dedicatory offering, and the early produce from the holy things.
32 Extend your hand to the poor so that your blessing may be complete.
33 The kindness of a gift stands before all who are alive; moreover, don't withhold kindness from the dead.
34 Walk beside those who weep, and mourn with those who mourn.
35 Don't hesitate to visit the sick, because you will be loved on account of these acts.
