Ecclesiasticus 46:13-20 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

13. Then all the judges, every one by name, whose heart was not corrupted: who turned not away from the Lord,

14. That their memory might be blessed, and their bones spring up out of their place,

15. And their name continue for ever, the glory of the holy men remaining unto their children.

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

17. By the law of the Lord he judged the congregation, and the God of Jacob beheld, and by his fidelity he was proved a prophet.

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

19. And called upon the name of the Lord Almighty, in fighting against the enemies who beset him on every side, when he offered a lamb without blemish.

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