Ben Sira 35:15

15 The tears running down a widow's cheek cry out in accusation against the one who has caused her distress.

Ben Sira 35:15 In-Context

13 He is not prejudiced against the poor; when someone prays who has been wronged, the Lord listens.

14 When orphans and widows pour out their prayers, he does not ignore them.

15 The tears running down a widow's cheek cry out in accusation against the one who has caused her distress.

16 Serve the Lord willingly, and the Lord will accept you; your prayers will reach the skies.

17 The prayer of a humble person goes past the clouds and keeps on going until it reaches the Lord Most High, where it stays until he answers by seeing that justice is done and that the guilty are punished.
