Sirach 45:3-5

Revised Standard Version

³ By his words he caused signs to cease;
    the Lord^[a] glorified him in the presence of kings.
He gave him commands for his people,
    and showed him part of his glory.
⁴ He sanctified him through faithfulness and meekness;
    he chose him out of all mankind.
⁵ He made him hear his voice,
    and led him into the thick darkness,
and gave him the commandments face to face,
    the law of life and knowledge,
to teach Jacob the covenant,
    and Israel his judgments.
