Sirach 46:18 CPDV

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.

¹⁸  And he was known to be faithful in his words. For he saw the God of light.

¹⁹  And when fighting against the enemies, who stood against him on every side, he called upon the name of the Almighty Lord, with an offering of an inviolate lamb.

²⁰  And the Lord thundered from heaven, and with a great noise, he made his voice to be heard.
