Sirach 46:16-20
-
16 He called upon the mighty Lord, when his enemies pressed upon him on every side, when he offered the sucking lamb.
-
17 And the Lord thundered from heaven, and with a great noise made his voice to be heard.
-
18 And he destroyed the rulers of the Tyrians, and all the princes cf the Philistines.
-
19 And before his long sleep he made protestations in the sight of the Lord and his anointed, I have not taken any man's goods, so much as a shoe: and no man did accuse him.
-
20 And after his death he prophesied, and shewed the king his end, and lifted up his voice from the earth in prophecy, to blot out the wickedness of the people.
