Sirach 45:3-5

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

³ By his words he performed swift miracles;^[a]
    the Lord^[b] glorified him in the presence of kings.
He gave him commandments for his people,
    and revealed to him his glory.
⁴ For his faithfulness and meekness he consecrated him,
    choosing him out of all humankind.
⁵ He allowed him to hear his voice,
    and led him into the dark cloud,
and gave him the commandments face to face,
    the law of life and knowledge,
so that he might teach Jacob the covenant,
    and Israel his decrees.
