Sirach 45:16-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁶ He chose him out of all the living
    to offer sacrifice to the Lord,
incense and a pleasing odour as a memorial portion,
    to make atonement for the^[a] people.
¹⁷ In his commandments he gave him
    authority and statutes and^[b] judgements,
to teach Jacob the testimonies,
    and to enlighten Israel with his law.
¹⁸ Outsiders conspired against him,
    and envied him in the wilderness,
Dathan and Abiram and their followers
    and the company of Korah, in wrath and anger.
