Sirach 34:17-22 Common English Bible (CEB)

17. The souls of those who fear the Lordare favored.

18. To whom do they look?And who is their support?

19. The Lord’s eyesare upon those who love him.The Lord is a powerful shield,a strong support,a shelter from the heat,a shade from the midday sun,a guard against stumbling,and a help against falling;

20. one who lifts up the spirit,one who gives light to the eyes,and one who gives healingfor life and blessing.

21. When someone sacrifices something unjustly gotten,the offering is flawed;

22. the gifts of those who don’t followthe Law are not acceptable.
