Wisdom of Ben Sira 45:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 God made him equal in glory to the holy ones,[a]
and strengthened him, to the frightened consternation of his enemies.
3 At his word God caused signs[b] to cease
and raised him high in the regard of kings.
He gave him commandments for his people
and revealed to him a portion of his glory.
4 As a result of his loyalty and meekness, God consecrated him,
choosing him from all humankind.
