Sirach 46:1-2

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

46 Joshua son of Nun was mighty in war,
    and was the successor of Moses in the prophetic office.
He became, as his name implies,
    a great saviour of God’s^[a] elect,
to take vengeance on the enemies that rose against them,
    so that he might give Israel its inheritance.
² How glorious he was when he lifted his hands
    and brandished his sword against the cities!
