Wisdom of Ben Sira 47:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 He frolicked with lions as though they were young goats,
and with bears as though they were lambs of the flock.
4 While still a young boy he killed a giant
and eradicated the shame of his people.
By hurling a stone from his sling
he put an end to the boastful arrogance of Goliath.
5 For he called on the Most High God,
who gave strength to his right arm
to strike down that mighty warrior
and demonstrate the power of his people.
