Sirach 44:17 CPDV

¹⁵  Let the people declare their wisdom, and let the Church announce their praise.

¹⁶  Enoch pleased God, and he was transferred to Paradise, so that he might offer repentance to the nations.

¹⁷  Noah was found to be perfect and just, and so, in the time of wrath, he was made a reconciliation.

¹⁸  As a result, there was a remnant left for the earth, when the great flood was made.

¹⁹  The covenants of the world were placed with him, so that all flesh would not be wiped away by the great flood.
