Sirach 44:20-22

Common English Bible

²⁰ He kept the laws of the Most High,
    and he entered into a covenant with him.
        He established a covenant in his flesh,
        and when he was tested,
        he proved faithful.
²¹ Therefore, the Lord certified for Abraham
with a solemn pledge
    that he would bless nations
    through his descendants,
    that he would make him increase
    like the dust of the earth,
    exalt his descendants like the stars,
    and give them an inheritance
    from sea to sea
    and from the river to the end
    of the earth.
