Sirach 47:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³ He played with lions as though they were young goats
    and with bears as though they were lambs of the flock.^(A)
4 In his youth did he not kill a giant
    and take away the people’s disgrace,
when he whirled the stone in the sling
    and struck down the boasting Goliath?^(B)
5 For he called on the Lord, the Most High,
    and he gave strength to his right arm
to strike down a mighty warrior
    and to exalt the power^[a] of his people.^(C)
