Sirach 47:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴ In his youth did he not kill a giant
    and take away the people’s disgrace,
when he whirled the stone in the sling
    and struck down the boasting Goliath?^(A)
5 For he called on the Lord, the Most High,
    and he gave strength to his right arm
to strike down a mighty warrior
    and to exalt the power^[a] of his people.^(B)
6 So they glorified him for the tens of thousands
    and praised him for the blessings bestowed by the Lord,
    when the glorious diadem was given to him.^(C)
