Sirach 46:8-19 World English Bible (WEB)

8. And of six hundred thousand people on foot, they two alone were preserved To bring them into the heritage, Even into a land flowing with milk and honey.

9. Also the Lord gave strength to Caleb, And it remained with him to his old age; So that he entered upon the height of the land, And his seed obtained it for a heritage:

10. That all the children of Israel might see That it is good to walk after the Lord.

11. Also the judges, every one by his name, All whose hearts went not a whoring, And who turned not away from the Lord, May their memorial be blessed.

12. May their bones flourish again out of their place, And may the name of them that have been honored be renewed upon their children.

13. Samuel, the prophet of the Lord, beloved of his Lord, Established a kingdom, and anointed princes over his people.

14. By the law of the Lord he judged the congregation, And the Lord visited Jacob.

15. By his faithfulness he was proved to be a prophet, And by his words he was known to be faithful in vision.

16. Also when his enemies pressed him round about He called upon the Lord, the Mighty One, With the offering of the sucking lamb.

17. And the Lord thundered from heaven, And with a mighty sound made his voice to be heard.

18. And he utterly destroyed the rulers of the Tyrians, And all the princes of the Philistines.

19. Also before the time of his long sleep He made protestations in the sight of the lord and his anointed, I have not taken any man’s goods, so much as a shoe: And no man did accuse him.
