In context
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.
— Sirach 31:21 —
22He that taketh away his neighbor’s living slayeth him; And he that defraudeth the laborer his hire is a bloodshedder.
23When one buildeth, and another pulleth down, What profit have they then but labor?
