Sirach 46:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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.^(A)
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.^(B)
7 And in the days of Moses he showed compassion,
    he and Caleb son of Jephunneh:
they opposed the congregation,^[b]
    restrained the people from sin,
    and stilled their wicked grumbling.^(C)
