Sirach 47:3-5

Good News Translation

³ He played with lions and bears as if they were lambs or little goats. ⁴ When he was still a boy, he killed a giant to rescue his people. He put a stone in his sling, took aim, and put an end to Goliath's bragging. ⁵ He prayed to the Lord, the Most High, and was given the strength to kill that famous soldier, so that the nations would have respect for the power of his people.
