Sirach 44:17-19
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
Noah
17 Noah was found perfect and righteous;
in the time of wrath he kept the race alive;[a]
therefore a remnant was left on the earth
when the flood came.
18 Everlasting covenants were made with him
that all flesh should never again be blotted out by a flood.
Abraham
19 Abraham was the great father of a multitude of nations,
and no one has been found like him in glory.
