Sirach 35:14
Douay-Rheims
Do not offer wicked gifts, for such he will not receive.
Glossa Ordinaria
Do not offer gifts, etc. With God there is no quantity of the gift; nor is the person of the powerful regarded: but the love and humility of the heart. Therefore a sacrifice ought not to be offered from iniquity, but from just labour.
