Sirach 47:1-4 World English Bible (WEB)

1. And after him rose up Nathan To prophesy in the days of David.

2. As is the fat when it is separated from the peace offering, So was David separated from the children of Israel.

3. He played with lions as with kids, And with bears as with lambs of the flock.

4. In his youth did he not kill a giant, And take away reproach from the people, When he lifted up his hand with a sling stone, And beat down the boasting of Goliath?
