Sirach 7:30-32

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁰With all your might love your Maker,
    and do not forsake his ministers.
³¹Fear the Lord and honor the priest,
    and give him his portion, as is commanded you:
the first fruits, the guilt offering, the gift of the shoulders,
    the sacrifice of sanctification, and the first fruits of the holy things.

³²Stretch forth your hand to the poor,
so that your blessing may be complete.
