Sirach 45:25-26

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²⁵Just as a covenant was established with David
son of Jesse of the tribe of Judah,
that the king’s heritage passes only from son to son,
so the heritage of Aaron is for his descendants alone.

²⁶And now bless the Lord
    who has crowned you with glory.^[a]
May the Lord^[b] grant you wisdom of mind
    to judge his people with justice,
so that their prosperity may not vanish,
    and that their glory may endure through all their generations.
