Sirach 47:3-5
Common English Bible
3 He played with lions
as if they were young goats,
and with bears
as if they were lambs from the flock.
4 Didn’t he kill a giant in his youth
and take away disgrace from the people,
when he raised his hand with a stone shot from a sling
and struck down
the arrogant Goliath?
5 David called upon the Lord Most High,
and the Lord gave strength
to his strong arm
to do away with a mighty warrior,
to assert the power[a] of his people.
