Sirach 35:5-9 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. To withdraw from iniquity is well-pleasing to the Lord. And to withdraw from injustice is a supplication for sins.

6. You should not appear empty before the sight of the Lord.

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

8. The oblation of the just fattens the altar, and is a fragrance of sweetness in the sight of the Most High.

9. The sacrifice of the just is acceptable, and the Lord will never forget the memorial of it.
