Sirach 44:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ The covenants of the world were made with him, that all flesh should no more be destroyed with the flood.

²⁰ Abraham was the great father of a multitude of nations, and there was not found the like to him in glory, who kept the law of the most High, and was in covenant with him.

²¹ In his flesh he established the covenant, and in temptation he was found faithful.
