14
Whoso feareth the Lord shall not fear nor be afraid, for He is his hope.
15
Blessed is the soul of him that feareth the Lord! To whom doth he look? And who is his strength?
16
For the eyes of the Lord are upon them that love Him; He is their mighty protection and strong stay, a defense from heat, and a cover from the sun at noon, a preservation from stumbling, and a help from falling.
17
He raiseth up the soul, and lighteneth the eyes; He giveth health, life, and blessing.
18
He that sacrificeth with a thing wrongfully gotten, his offering is ridiculous; and the gifts of unjust men are not accepted.
19
The Most High is not pleased with the offerings of the wicked; neither is He pacified for sin by the multitude of sacrifices.
20
Whoso bringeth an offering of the goods of the poor doeth as one that killeth the son before his father's eyes.
21
The bread of the needy is their life; he that defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood.
22
He that taketh away his neighbor's living slayeth him, and he that defraudeth the laborer of his hire is a bloodshedder.
23
When one buildeth and another pulleth down, what profit have they then but labor?
24
When one prayeth and another curseth, whose voice will the Lord hear?
