He that keepeth the law multiplieth offerings;

2 He that requiteth a good turn offereth fine flour;

3 To depart from wickedness is a thing pleasing to the Lord;

4 See that thou appear not in the presence of the Lord empty.

5 For all these things are to be done because of the commandment.

6 The offering of the righteous maketh the altar fat;

7 The sacrifice of a righteous man is acceptable;

8 Glorify the Lord with a good eye,

9 In every gift show a cheerful countenance,

10 Give unto the Most High according as he hath given;

11 For the Lord recompenseth,

12 Think not to corrupt with gifts; for he will not receive them:

13 He will not accept any person against a poor man;

14 He will in no wise despise the supplication of the fatherless;

15 Do not the tears of the widow run down her cheek?

16 He that serveth God according to his good pleasure shall be accepted,

17 The prayer of the humble pierceth the clouds;

18 And the Lord will not be slack, neither will he be long-suffering toward them,

19 Till he have rendered to every man according to his doings,

20 Mercy is seasonable in the time of his afflicting them,
