9
The sacrifice of the just is acceptable, and the Lord will not forget the memorial thereof.
10
Give glory to God with a good heart: and diminish not the firstfruits of thy hands.
11
In every gift shew a cheerful countenance, and sanctify thy tithes with joy.
12
Give to the most High according to what he hath given to thee, and with a good eye do according to the ability of thy hands:
13
For the Lord maketh recompense, and will give thee seven times as much.
14
Do not offer wicked gifts, for such he will not receive.
15
And look not upon an unjust sacrifice, for the Lord is judge, and there is not with him respect of person.
16
The Lord will not accept any person against a poor man, and he will hear the prayer of him that is wronged.
17
He will not despise the prayers of the fatherless; nor the widow, when she poureth out her complaint.
18
Do not the widow's tears run down the cheek, and her cry against him that causeth them to fall?
19
For from the cheek they go up even to heaven, and the Lord that heareth will not be delighted with them.
