Sirach 46:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ Wasn’t the sun restrained by his hand,
    and one day lasted for two?
⁵ He called upon the Most High,
the mighty one,
    when his enemies pressed in on him
    from every side,
        and the great Lord responded to him
        with hailstones of mighty power.
⁶ He rushed headlong against a nation
in battle,
    and on a hill he destroyed those
    who opposed him,
        so that the nations might know
        how well-equipped he was,
    because his war was fought
    in the Lord’s presence.
    Indeed, he was a follower
    of the mighty one.
