Sirach 7:27-35 World English Bible (WEB)

27. Give glory to your father with your whole heart; And forget not the pangs of your mother.

28. Remember that of them you were born: And what will you recompense them for the things that they have done for you?

29. Fear the Lord with all your soul; And reverence his priests.

30. With all your strength love him that made you; And forsake not his ministers.

31. Fear the Lord, and glorify the priest; And give him his portion, even as it is commanded you; The first fruits, and the trespass offering, and the gift of the shoulders, And the sacrifice of sanctification, and the first fruits of holy things.

32. Also to the poor man stretch out your hand, That your blessing may be perfected.

33. A gift has grace in the sight of every man living; And for a dead man keep not back grace.

34. Be not lacking to them that weep; And mourn with them that mourn.

35. Be not slow to visit a sick man; For by such things you shall gain love.
