Sirach 46:15 CPDV

¹³  Then there were the judges, each one called by name, whose heart was not corrupted. They did not turn away from the Lord,

¹⁴  so that their memory might be blessed, and their bones might spring forth from their place,

¹⁵  and their name might remain forever, continuing in their sons, holy men of glory.

¹⁶  Samuel, prophet of the Lord, beloved by the Lord his God, established a new government, and he anointed leaders over his people.

¹⁷  By the law of the Lord, he judged the congregation, and the God of Jacob saw it, and so, by his fidelity, he was proven to be a prophet.
