Ben Sira 35:5 In-Context

3 To depart from wickedness is a thing pleasing to the Lord, and to forsake unrighteousness is a propitiation.

4 Thou shalt not appear empty before the Lord,

5 for all these things are to be done because of the commandment.

6 The offering of the righteous maketh the altar fat, and the sweet savor thereof is before the Most High.

7 The sacrifice of a just man is acceptable, and the memorial thereof shall never be forgotten.
