1Obeying the Law
of the Lord
is the same
as bringing him many gifts,
2and obeying his commands
is like offering a sacrifice
to ask his blessing.
3Showing kindness to someone
who has been kind to you
is like offering a sacrifice
to give thanks to the Lord.
4And giving to the poor
is offering a sacrifice
that gives the Lord praise.
5So please the Lord
and seek his forgiveness,
by staying away from evil.
6However, do not come
to worship the Lord
without bringing him a gift
7as his Law commands.
8When one of God's people
burns the fat of a sacrifice,
God Most High is pleased
with the smell of the smoke
rising from the altar.
9
breaking their power
and destroying them.
24And someday, all humans
will be repaid, as their thoughts
and deeds deserve.
25Then God will judge
in favor of his people,
and they will celebrate
because he showed mercy.
26We welcome God's mercy
when we are in trouble,
just as we welcome rain
in hot, dry weather.
