3
To depart from wickedness is a thing pleasing to the Lord, and to forsake unrighteousness is a propitiation.
4
Thou shalt not appear empty before the Lord,
5
for all these things are to be done because of the commandment.
6
The offering of the righteous maketh the altar fat, and the sweet savor thereof is before the Most High.
7
The sacrifice of a just man is acceptable, and the memorial thereof shall never be forgotten.
8
Give the Lord His honor with a good eye, and diminish not the firstfruits of thine hands.
9
In all thy gifts show a cheerful countenance, and dedicate thy tithes with gladness.
10
Give unto the Most High according as He hath enriched thee; and as thou hast gotten, give with a cheerful eye.
11
For the Lord recompenseth, and will give thee seven times as much.
12
Do not think to corrupt with gifts, for such He will not receive; and trust not to unrighteous sacrifices; for the Lord is judge, and with Him is no respect of persons.
13
He will not accept any person against a poor man, but will hear the prayer of the oppressed.
