Sirach 46:19-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 Before the time of his eternal sleep,
Samuel[a] bore witness before the Lord and his anointed:
“No property, not so much as a pair of shoes,
have I taken from anyone!”
And no one accused him.(A)
20 Even after he had fallen asleep, he prophesied
and made known to the king his death
and lifted up his voice from the ground
in prophecy, to blot out the lawlessness of the people.(B)
