Sirach 46:1-2

Revised Standard Version

46 Joshua the son of Nun was mighty in war,
    and was the successor of Moses in prophesying.
He became, in accordance with his name,
    a great savior of God’s^[a] elect,
to take vengeance on the enemies that rose against them,
    so that he might give Israel its inheritance.
² How glorious he was when he lifted his hands
    and stretched out his sword against the cities!
