Ben Sira 44:15-20 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

15. At gatherings their wisdom is retold,and the assembly proclaims their praises.

16. [Enoch walked with the Lord and was taken,that succeeding generations might learn by his example.]

17. Noah, found just and perfect,renewed the race in the time of devastation.Because of his worth there were survivors,and with a sign to him the deluge ended.

18. A lasting covenant was made with him,that never again would all flesh be destroyed.

19. Abraham, father of many peoples,kept his glory without stain:

20. He observed the Most High’s command,and entered into a covenant with him;In his own flesh he incised the ordinance,and when tested was found loyal.
