Ben Sira 34:22-24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
22 Presents from the lawless do not win God’s favor.(A)
23 The Most High is not pleased with the gifts of the godless,
nor for their many sacrifices does he forgive their sins.
24 One who slays a son in his father’s presence—
whoever offers sacrifice from the holdings of the poor.
