In context
15Blessed is the soul of him that feareth the Lord: To whom doth he look? And who is his strength?
16For the eyes of the Lord are upon them that love him, He is their mighty protection and strong stay, A defense from heat, and a cover from the sun at noon, A preservation from stumbling, and a help from falling;
— Sirach 31:17 —
18He that sacrificeth of a thing wrongfully gotten, his offering is ridiculous; And the gifts of unjust men are not accepted.
19The most High is not pleased with the offerings of the wicked; Neither is he pacified for sin by the multitude of sacrifices.
