22 the gifts of those who don’t followthe Law are not acceptable.
23 The Most High is not pleasedwith the offerings of the ungodly,nor will he forgive sinsfor a multitude of sacrifices.
24 Someone who brings a sacrifice that comes from the property of the needyis like someone who slaughters a sonin the presence of his father.
25 The needy person’s breadmeans life for that poor person;whoever withholds it is a murderer.
26 Whoever takes away a neighbor’s livingcommits murder,
27 and whoever deprives a workerof wages sheds blood.
28 One person builds,and another tears down;what have they gainedother than hard work?
