Sirach 44:15-17

15 The people will tell of their wisdom,
and the congregation
will proclaim their praise.
Enoch
16 Enoch pleased the Lord
and was transferred,[a]
an example of a changed heart
and mind for generations.

in a time of anger,
he was selected in exchange
for the ungodly.[b]
Because of him,
a few survivors remained on the earth
when the flood happened.
