Ben Sira 50:24-26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
24 May his goodness toward Simeon last forever;
may he fulfill for him the covenant with Phinehas
So that it may not be abrogated for him
or his descendants while the heavens last.
Epilogue
25 My whole being loathes two nations,
the third is not even a people:[a]
26 The inhabitants of Seir[b] and Philistia,
and the foolish people who dwell in Shechem.(A)
