Ben Sira 34:18

Listen to Ben Sira 34:18
18 If one sacrifices from what has been wrongfully obtained, the offering is blemished; the gifts of the lawless are not acceptable.

Ben Sira 34:18 In-Context

16 The eyes of the Lord are upon those who love him, a mighty protection and strong support, a shelter from the hot wind and a shade from noonday sun, a guard against stumbling and a defense against falling.
17 He lifts up the soul and gives light to the eyes; he grants healing, life, and blessing.
18 If one sacrifices from what has been wrongfully obtained, the offering is blemished; the gifts of the lawless are not acceptable.
19 The Most High is not pleased with the offerings of the ungodly; and he is not propitiated for sins by a multitude of sacrifices.
20 Like one who kills a son before his father's eyes is the man who offers a sacrifice from the property of the poor.
