Ben Sira 45:19-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
19 When the Lord saw this he became angry,
and destroyed them in his burning wrath.
He brought against them a marvel,
and consumed them in flaming fire.
20 Then he increased the glory of Aaron(A)
and bestowed upon him his inheritance:
The sacred offerings he allotted to him,
with the showbread[a] as his portion;
21 The oblations of the Lord are his food,
a gift to him and his descendants.
