Sirach 7:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ Don't think that God Most High is going to take into account how very generous you are and so accept any offering you decide to make.

¹⁰ Never get tired of praying, and never miss a chance to give to the poor.

¹¹ Don't laugh at someone who has been humiliated. It is the Lord who humbles a person, but the Lord also raises him up again.
