Sirach 35:1-6

1 Whoever keeps the Law gives many offerings;

2 whoever obeys the commandments makes a sacrifice of well-being.

3 Whoever repays a kindness offers the finest flour,

4 and whoever does an act of charity makes a sacrifice of praise.

5 Staying away from wickedness pleases the Lord, and keeping away from injustice means reconciliation.

6 Don't come into the Lord's presence empty-handed,
