Sirach 44:16-18
Common English Bible
Enoch
16 Enoch pleased the Lord
and was transferred,[a]
an example of a changed heart
and mind for generations.
Noah
17 Noah was found perfect and righteous;
in a time of anger,
he was selected in exchange
for the ungodly.[b]
Because of him,
a few survivors remained on the earth
when the flood happened.
18 Eternal covenants were made with him
so that all living things would not be wiped out by a flood again.
