Sirach 44:23 CPDV

²¹  In his flesh, he caused the covenant to stand, and when tested, he was found to be faithful.

²²  Therefore, by an oath, he gave glory to him among his people, so as to increase him like the dust of the earth,

²³  and to exalt his offspring like the stars, and to give an inheritance to them from sea to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.

²⁴  And he acted in like manner toward Isaac, because of his father Abraham.

²⁵  The Lord gave the blessing of all the nations to him, and he confirmed his covenant upon the head of Jacob.
