Douai-Rheims	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
¹ He that keepeth the law, multiplieth offerings.	¹ He who keeps the law makes many offerings; he who heeds the commandments sacrifices a peace offering.
² It is a wholesome sacrifice to take heed to the commandments, and to depart from all iniquity. _J	² He who returns a kindness offers fine flour, and he who gives alms sacrifices a thank offering.
³ And to depart from injustice, is to offer a propitiatory sacrifice for injustices, and a begging of pardon for sins.	³ To keep from wickedness is pleasing to the Lord, and to forsake unrighteousness is atonement.
⁴ He shall return thanks, that offereth fine flour: and he that doth mercy, offereth sacrifice.	⁴ Do not appear before the Lord empty-handed,
⁵ To depart from iniquity is that which pleaseth the Lord, and to depart from injustice, is an entreaty for sins.	⁵ for all these things are to be done because of the commandment.
⁶ Thou shalt not appear empty in the sight of the Lord.	⁶ The offering of a righteous man anoints the altar, and its pleasing odor rises before the Most High.
⁷ For all these things are to be done because of the commandment of God.	⁷ The sacrifice of a righteous man is acceptable, and the memory of it will not be forgotten.
⁸ The oblation of the just maketh the altar fat, and is an odour of sweetness in the sight of the most High.	⁸ Glorify the Lord generously, and do not stint the first fruits of your hands.
⁹ The sacrifice of the just is acceptable, and the Lord will not forget the memorial thereof.	⁹ With every gift show a cheerful face, and dedicate your tithe with gladness.
¹⁰ Give glory to God with a good heart: and diminish not the firstfruits of thy hands.	¹⁰ Give to the Most High as he has given, and as generously as your hand has found.
¹¹ In every gift shew a cheerful countenance, and sanctify thy tithes with joy.	¹¹ For the Lord is the one who repays, and he will repay you sevenfold.
¹² Give to the most High according to what he hath given to thee, and with a good eye do according to the ability of thy hands:	¹² Do not offer him a bribe, for he will not accept it; and do not trust to an unrighteous sacrifice; for the Lord is the judge, and with him is no partiality.
¹³ For the Lord maketh recompense, and will give thee seven times as much.	¹³ He will not show partiality in the case of a poor man; and he will listen to the prayer of one who is wronged.
¹⁴ Do not offer wicked gifts, for such he will not receive.	¹⁴ He will not ignore the supplication of the fatherless, nor the widow when she pours out her story.
¹⁵ And look not upon an unjust sacrifice, for the Lord is judge, and there is not with him respect of person.	¹⁵ Do not the tears of the widow run down her cheek as she cries out against him who has caused them to fall?
¹⁶ The Lord will not accept any person against a poor man, and he will hear the prayer of him that is wronged.	¹⁶ He whose service is pleasing to the Lord will be accepted, and his prayer will reach to the clouds.
¹⁷ He will not despise the prayers of the fatherless; nor the widow, when she poureth out her complaint.	¹⁷ The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds, and he will not be consoled until it reaches the Lord; he will not desist until the Most High visits him, and does justice for the righteous, and executes judgment.
¹⁸ Do not the widow's tears run down the cheek, and her cry against him that causeth them to fall?	¹⁸ And the Lord will not delay, neither will he be patient with them, till he crushes the loins of the unmerciful and repays vengeance on the nations; till he takes away the multitude of the insolent, and breaks the scepters of the unrighteous;
¹⁹ For from the cheek they go up even to heaven, and the Lord that heareth will not be delighted with them.	¹⁹ till he repays the man according to his deeds, and the works of men according to their devices; till he judges the case of his people and makes them rejoice in his mercy.
²⁰ He that adoreth God with joy, shall be accepted, and his prayer shall approach even to the clouds.	²⁰ Mercy is as welcome when he afflicts them as clouds of rain in the time of drought.
²¹ The prayer of him that humbleth himself, shall pierce the clouds: and till it come nigh he will not be comforted: and he will not depart till the most High behold.
²² And the Lord will not be slack, but will judge for the just, and will do judgment: and the Almighty will not have patience with them, that he may crush their back:
²³ And he will repay vengeance to the Gentiles, till he have taken away the multitude of the proud, and broken the sceptres of the unjust,
²⁴ Till he have rendered to men according to their deeds: and according to the works of Adam, and according to his presumption,
²⁵ Till he have judged the cause of his people, and he shall delight the just with his mercy.
²⁶ The mercy of God is beautiful in the time of affliction, as a cloud of rain in the time of drought.
