In context
21The bread of the needy is their life: He that defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood.
22He that taketh away his neighbor’s living slayeth him; And he that defraudeth the laborer his hire is a bloodshedder.
— Sirach 31:23 —
24When one prayeth, and another curseth, Whose voice will the Lord hear?
25He that washeth himself after the touching of a dead body, if he touch it again, What availeth his washing?
