Ben Sira 7:36

36 And stretch out thy hand to the poor, that thy expiation and thy blessing may be perfected.

Ben Sira 7:36 In-Context

34 Give them their portion, as it is commanded thee, of the firstfruits and of purifications: and for thy negligences purify thyself with a few.
35 Offer to the Lord the gift of thy shoulders, and the sacrifice of sanctification, and the firstfruits of the holy things:
36 And stretch out thy hand to the poor, that thy expiation and thy blessing may be perfected.
37 A gift hath grace in the sight of all the living, and restrain not grace from the dead.
38 Be not wanting in comforting them that weep, and walk with them that mourn.
