Ben Sira 7:29-35

29 Fear the Lord with all your heart, and have respect for his priests.
30 Love your Creator with all your strength, and give his ministers your support.
31 Honor the Lord and respect the priests. Supply them with what you have been commanded to give: the first produce, the offering for sin, the shoulder of the sacrificial animal - all the required sacrifices and offerings.
32 Give your help to the poor, and the Lord will give you his perfect blessing.
33 Be generous to every living soul, and be gracious to the memory of the dead.
34 Show sympathy to those who have lost a loved one, and mourn with them.
35 Do not hesitate to visit the sick. You will be loved for things like these.
