Sirach 46:1-2

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

46 Joshua son of Nun was mighty in war,
    and was the successor of Moses in the prophetic office.
He became, as his name implies,
    a great saviour of God’s^[a] elect,
to take vengeance on the enemies that rose against them,
    so that he might give Israel its inheritance.
² How glorious he was when he lifted his hands
    and brandished his sword against the cities!
