Sirach 44:2LXX

1Let us now praise men of renown, and our fathers in their generation.

2The Lord hath wrought great glory through his magnificence from the beginning.

3Such as have borne rule in their dominions, men of great power, and endued with their wisdom, shewing forth in the prophets the dignity of prophets,

4And ruling over the present people, and by the strength of wisdom instructing the people in most holy words.
