menu_book Verse in Context

22 Like one who murders his neighbor is he who takes away his living. Like a shedder of blood is he who deprives a hireling of his hire.

23 When one builds, and another pulls down, what profit do they have but toil?

24 When one prays, and another curses, whose voice will the Lord listen to?

25 He who washes himself after touching a dead body, and touches it again, what does he gain by his washing?

26 Even so a man fasting for his sins, and going again, and doing the same, who will listen to his prayer? What profit does he have in his humiliation?
