Sirach 35:16-20
{35:16} The Lord will not accept favoritism against the poor, but he will heed the prayer of one who has been harmed.
{35:17} He will not despise the prayers of the orphan, nor of the widow, if she utters a lamenting complaint.
{35:18} Do a widow’s tears not run down her cheek? And will her outcry not cause their downfall?
{35:19} For from her cheek, her tears ascend even to heaven. And the Lord, the One who listens, will not take delight in them.
{35:20} Whoever adores God with joy will be accepted, and his prayer will reach even to the clouds.
Sirach 35:11-15
{35:11} With every gift, have a cheerful countenance, and sanctify your tithes with exultation.
{35:12} Give to the Most High according to his gifts to you, and act with a good eye toward the creations of your hands.
{35:13} For the Lord gives recompense, and he will repay you seven times as much.
{35:14} Do not be willing to offer corrupt gifts. For he will not accept them.
{35:15} And do not be willing to consider an unjust sacrifice. For the Lord is the judge, and with him there is no favoritism toward anyone.
