14. Whoso fears the Lord shall not be afraid, and shall not play the coward; For he is his hope.
15. Blessed is the soul of him that fears the Lord: To whom does he give heed? and who is his stay?
16. The eyes of the Lord are upon them that love him, A mighty protection and strong stay, A cover from the hot blast, and a cover from the noonday, A guard from stumbling, and a succour from falling.
17. He raises up the soul, and enlighteneth the eyes: He gives healing, life, and blessing.
18. He that sacrifices of a thing wrongfully gotten, his offering is made in mockery; And the mockeries of wicked men are not well-pleasing.
19. The Most High has no pleasure in the offerings of the ungodly; Neither is he pacified for sins by the multitude of sacrifices.
20. As one that kills the son before his father’s eyes Is he that brings a sacrifice from the goods of the poor.
21. The bread of the needy is the life of the poor: He that depriveth him thereof is a man of blood.
22. As one that slays his neighbor is he that takes away his living; And as a shedder of blood is he that depriveth a hireling of his hire.
23. One building, and another pulling down, What profit have they had but toil?
24. One praying, and another cursing, Whose voice will the Lord listen to?
25. He that washes himself after touching a dead body, and touches it again, What profit has he in his washing?
