Sirach 47:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ When he was still a boy, he killed a giant to rescue his people. He put a stone in his sling, took aim, and put an end to Goliath's bragging. ⁵ He prayed to the Lord, the Most High, and was given the strength to kill that famous soldier, so that the nations would have respect for the power of his people. ⁶ The people honored him for killing his tens of thousands, and when he was crowned king, they praised him for being chosen by the Lord.
