Sirach 44:16-18
Revised Standard Version
Enoch
16 Enoch pleased the Lord, and was taken up;
he was an example of repentance to all generations.
Noah
17 Noah was found perfect and righteous;
in the time of wrath he was taken in exchange;
therefore a remnant was left to the earth
when the flood came.
18 Everlasting covenants were made with him
that all flesh should not be blotted out by a flood.
