not in my Bible

Online Douay-Rheims Bible

I cannot recommend Douay enough. First, it is a complete Canon of the Scriptures. Second, it is word-by-word rendition of Jerome's Vulgate. If you want to know what the Catholic Church knew and taught through the ages, regardless of your personal convictions and opinions, unless you are fluent in Latin, read Douay. You will find subtle and sometimes not so subtle differences with King James. Instead of banal "elders" you'll see "priests". Mary is "full of grace", not "highly favoured one". Even its chief shortcoming, -- somewhat awkward English -- is the result of its following the Latin Vulgate.

Thanks for the reference, but it has no books with Sir, so I'm still lost...
