In context
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;
17He raiseth up the soul, and lighteneth the eyes: He giveth health, life, and blessing.
— Sirach 31:18 —
19The most High is not pleased with the offerings of the wicked; Neither is he pacified for sin by the multitude of sacrifices.
20Whoso bringeth an offering of the goods of the poor Doeth as one that killeth the son before his father’s eyes.
