Sirach 44:17-19
Common English Bible
Noah
17 Noah was found perfect and righteous;
in a time of anger,
he was selected in exchange
for the ungodly.[a]
Because of him,
a few survivors remained on the earth
when the flood happened.
18 Eternal covenants were made with him
so that all living things would not be wiped out by a flood again.
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
19 Abraham was the great father
of a multitude of nations,
and there was no smudge on his glory.[b]
