Sirach 46:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ He called upon the Most High, the Mighty One,
    when enemies pressed him on every side,
⁶ and the great Lord answered him
    with hailstones of mighty power.
He hurled down war upon that nation,
    and at the descent of Beth-hor′on^[a] he destroyed those who resisted,
so that the nations might know his armament,
    that he was fighting in the sight of the Lord;
    for he wholly followed the Mighty One.
⁷ And in the days of Moses he did a loyal deed,
    he and Caleb the son of Jephun′neh:
they withstood the congregation,^[b]
    restrained the people from sin,
    and stilled their wicked murmuring.
