Ben Sira 45:2-5 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

2. God made him like the angels in honor,and strengthened him with fearful powers.

3. At his words God performed signsand sustained him in the king’s presence.He gave him the commandments for his people,and revealed to him his glory.

4. Because of his trustworthiness and meeknessGod selected him from all flesh;

5. He let him hear his voice,and led him into the cloud,Where he handed over the commandments,the law of life and understanding,That he might teach his precepts to Jacob,his judgments and decrees to Israel.
