Ben Sira 17:20

20 None of their sins are hidden from him; he is aware of them all.

Ben Sira 17:20 In-Context

19 The Lord is always watching what people do; everything they do is as clear as day to him.

20 None of their sins are hidden from him; he is aware of them all.

22 When we give to the poor, the Lord considers it as precious as a valuable ring. Human kindness is as precious to him as life itself.
