Sirach 44:18-20

Revised Standard Version

¹⁸ Everlasting covenants were made with him
    that all flesh should not be blotted out by a flood.

¹⁹ Abraham was the great father of a multitude of nations,
    and no one has been found like him in glory;
²⁰ he kept the law of the Most High,
    and was taken into covenant with him;
he established the covenant in his flesh,
    and when he was tested he was found faithful.
