Sirach 46:2-8 World English Bible (WEB)

2. How was he glorified in the lifting up his hands, And in stretching out his sword against the cities!

3. Who before him so stood fast? For the Lord himself brought his enemies to him.

4. Did not the sun go back by his hand? And did not one day become as two?

5. He called upon the Most High and Mighty One, When his foes pressed him round about; And the great Lord heard him.

6. With hailstones of mighty power He caused war to break violently upon the nation, And in the going down he destroyed them that resisted; That the nations might know his armor, How that he fought in the sight of the Lord; For he followed after the Mighty One.

7. Also in the time of Moses he did a work of mercy, He and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, In that they withstood the adversary, Hindered the people from sin, And stilled the murmuring of wickedness.

8. And of six hundred thousand people on foot, they two alone were preserved To bring them into the heritage, Even into a land flowing with milk and honey.
