Ecclesiasticus 34:22 Context
20Who so bringeth an offering of the goods of the poore, doeth as one that killeth the sonne before his fathers eyes. 21The bread of the needie, is their life: he that defraudeth him thereof, is a man of blood. 22Hee that taketh away his neighbours liuing, slayeth him: and hee that defraudeth the labourer of his hire, is a bloodshedder. 23When one buildeth, and another pulleth downe, what profite haue they then but labour? 24When one prayeth, and another curseth, whose voice will the Lorde heare?
