Sirach 46:19-20

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ Before the time of his eternal sleep,
    Samuel^[a] called men to witness before the Lord and his anointed:
“I have not taken any one’s property,
    not so much as a pair of shoes.”
    And no man accused him.
²⁰ Even after he had fallen asleep he prophesied
    and revealed to the king his death,
and lifted up his voice out of the earth in prophecy,
    to blot out the wickedness of the people.
