The Koine Bible

He who keeps the law multiplies offerings, sacrificing a salvation offering; he who gives heed to commandments.

He who repays favor is offering fine flour, and he who does alms is sacrificing praise

To depart from wickedness is the good pleasure of the Lord, and to depart from unrighteousness is atonement.

Do not appear before the Lord empty, for all these things are because of a commandment.

The offering of a righteous man fattens the altar, and its fragrance before the Most High

The sacrifice of a righteous man is acceptable, and its memorial will not be forgotten.

With a good eye glorify the Lord, and do not diminish the firstfruits of your hands.

In every gift make your face cheerful, and in gladness sanctify a tithe.

Give to the Most High according to his giving, and with a good eye according to the finding of the hand.

For the Lord is one who repays, and he will repay you sevenfold.

Do not bribe, for he will not accept it, and do not rely on an unrighteous sacrifice.

For the Lord is judge, and there is no respect of persons with him.

He will not show partiality toward the poor, and the petition of one wronged he will hear.

He will by no means overlook the supplication of the orphan and the widow if she pours out speech.

Do not the tears of a widow go down on the cheek, and her outcry against the one who brought them down?

One who serves will be received with favor, and his supplication will reach as far as the clouds.

The prayer of the humble pierced through the clouds, and until it draws near it will by no means be consoled.

and he will certainly not withdraw until the Most High looks upon and judges for the righteous and executes judgment

And the Lord will by no means delay, nor will he be long-suffering toward them

until he crushes the loin of the unmerciful and repays vengeance to the nations

until he lifts up the multitude of insolent men and breaks the scepters of the unjust

until he repays a man according to his actions, and the works of men according to their thoughts

until he judges the judgment of his people and gladdens them in his mercy

Mercy is timely in the time of his affliction, like clouds of rain in a time of drought
