Wisdom of Ben Sira 44:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ Everlasting covenants were established with him,
    that never again would all life be blotted out by a flood.

¹⁹ Abraham was the great father of a multitude of nations;
    no one has been found to be his equal in glory.
²⁰ He observed the law of the Most High
    and entered into a covenant with him.
He confirmed the covenant in his flesh,^[a]
    and when he was tested he proved faithful.
