Ben Sira 34:21 In-Context

19 The eyes of the Lord are on those who love him, a mighty shield and strong support, a shelter from scorching wind and a shade from noonday sun, a guard against stumbling and a help against falling.

20 He lifts up the soul and makes the eyes sparkle; he gives health and life and blessing.

21 If one sacrifices ill-gotten goods, the offering is blemished;

22 the gifts of the lawless are not acceptable.

23 The Most High is not pleased with the offerings of the ungodly, nor for a multitude of sacrifices does he forgive sins.
