Sirach 46:9
“What Caleb says, "As my vigor was then, so it is now," indicates that all the saints and the wise of heart have the same vigor in things present as in those past, in things recent as in those ancient, in the Gospels and in the Law. This is therefore what he says, the one who is vigorous now under Jesus as he was vigor…”

9The Lord gave strength also unto Caleb, Which remained with him unto his old age: So that he entered upon the high places of the land, And his seed obtained it for a heritage:

7In the time of Moses also he did a work of mercy, He and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, In that they withstood the enemy, And withheld the people from sin, And appeased the wicked murmuring.
8And of six hundred thousand people on foot, they two alone were preserved To bring them into the heritage, Even unto the land that floweth with milk and honey.
— Sirach 46:9 —
10That all the children of Israel might see That it is good to follow the Lord.
11And concerning the judges, every one by name, Whose heart went not a-whoring, Nor departed from the Lord, Let their memory be blessed.
