Ben Sira 34:17

Listen to Ben Sira 34:17
17 He makes them cheerful and puts a sparkle in their eyes. He blesses them with life and health.

Ben Sira 34:17 In-Context

15 People who fear the Lord are fortunate, because they know where they can look for help.
16 The Lord watches over those who love him; he is their strong protection and firm support. He shelters them from the heat, shades them from the noonday sun, and keeps them from stumbling and falling.
17 He makes them cheerful and puts a sparkle in their eyes. He blesses them with life and health.
18 If you offer as a sacrifice an animal that you have obtained dishonestly, it is defective and unacceptable.
19 The Most High gets no pleasure from sacrifices made by ungodly people; no amount of sacrifices can make up for their sins.
Scripture taken from the Good News Translation - Second Edition, Copyright 1992 by American Bible Society. Used by Permission.
