Sirach 46:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 Was it not through him that the sun stood still
and one day became as long as two?(A)
5 He called upon the Most High, the Mighty One,
when enemies pressed him on every side,
and the great Lord answered him
with hailstones of mighty power.(B)
6 He overwhelmed that nation in battle,
and on the slope he destroyed his opponents,
so that the nations might know his armament,
because their battle was against[a] the Lord,
for he was a devoted follower of the Mighty One.(C)
