Wisdom of Ben Sira 44:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ Enoch pleased the Lord and was taken up
    as an example of repentance for future generations.

¹⁷ Noah was found to be perfect and righteous,
    and in the time of God’s wrath he kept the race alive.
Because of him a remnant survived on the earth,
    and with a pledge to him the flood came to an end.
¹⁸ Everlasting covenants were established with him,
    that never again would all life be blotted out by a flood.
