Chap. XXXV.
note
Obseruation of the commandments, 4. and sacrifice of the iust please God, 12.
not the sacrifice of the wicked. 14. God protecteth the poore and desolate,
19. heareth the prayer of the humble, and rendereth to al as they deserue.
-- --
1 He note that keepeth the law, multiplieth oblation.
2 It is
an holsome sacrifice to attend to the commandments,
and to depart from al iniquitie.
3 To depart from iniquitie
is a thing that pleaseth our Lord wel: and to depart from iniustice
is an intreating for sinnes.
4 noteThou shalt not appeare
before the sight of our Lord emptie.
5 For al these thinges
are done because of the commandment of God.
6 The oblation
of the iust maketh a fatte altar, and is an odour of
sweetenes in the sight of the Highest.
7 The sacrifice of the
iust is acceptable, and our Lord wil not forget the memorie
thereof.
8 Render glorie to God with a good minde: and
diminish not the first fruites of thine handes.
9 In euerie gift
make thy countenance chereful, and in ioyfulnes sanctifie thy
tithes.
10 Geue to the Highest according to his gift, and with
a good eie, doe according to the abilitie of thine handes:
11 because our Lord is a rewarder, and wil repay thee note seuen
times so much.
12 Offer not wicked giftes, for he wil not
receiue them.
13 And looke not vpon an vniust sacrifice,
because our Lord is iudge, and there is not with him the
glorie of person.
14 Our Lord wil not accept person against
the poore, and he wil heare the prayer of him that is hurt.
15 He wil not despise the prayers of the pupil: nor the widow,
if she power out speach of mourning.
16 Do not the widows
teares runne downe to the cheeke, & her exclamation vpon
him that causeth them to runne?
17 For from the cheeke they
goe vp euen to heauen, and our Lord the hearer wil not be
delighted in them.
18 He that adoreth God in delectation, shal
be receiued, & his petition shal approch euen to the cloudes.
19 The prayer of him that humbleth himself, shal penetrate
the cloudes: and til it approch he wil not be comforted: and
he wil not depart til the Highest behold.
20 And our Lord wil
not be long, but wil iudge the iust, and wil do iudgement: and
the strongest wil not haue patience in them, that he may crush
their backe:
21 and he wil repay vengeance to the Gentiles, til
he take away the multitude of the proude: & breake the scepters
of the vniust,
22 til he reward men according to their doings:
and according to the workes of man, and according to
his presumption,
23 til he iudge the iudgement of his people,
and shal delight the iust with his mercie:
24 The mercie of God
is beautiful in the time of tribulation, as a cloude of raine in
the time of drught.
