Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 46:6

κατέρραξεν ἐπ᾿ ἔθνος πόλεμον καὶ ἐν καταβάσει ἀπώλεσεν ἀνθεστηκότας, ἵνα γνῶσιν ἔθνη πανοπλίαν αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐναντίον Κυρίου ὁ πόλεμος αὐτοῦ· καὶ γὰρ ἐπηκολούθησεν ὀπίσω δυνάστου.
King James Version (KJV)

And with hailstones of mighty power he made the battle to fall violently upon the nations, and in the descent [of Bethhoron] he destroyed them that resisted, that the nations might know all their strength, because he fought in the sight of the Lord, and he followed the Mighty One.

Modern English

With mighty hailstones he made war fall violently on the nations, and at the descent of Beth-horon he destroyed those who resisted, so the nations would know his full strength, since he fought under the eyes of the Lord and followed the Mighty One.
