Is that verse in Sirach one that we have a Hebrew fragment for? If you happen
to have the Hebrew characters for what should be translated, that would
certainly help. I know parts of it are extant in Hebrew.

Harold, you added this comment in your answer:
> Sirach is not Scripture and so I don't have to agree with it.

That's merely an opinion of no relevance to answering her question. This is
after all b-Hebrew, not b-protestant canon. A Scripture is but a Writing, and
a
vast majority of people that read Sirach are convinced it is a Hebrew Writing
on par with the Tanakh as accepted by non-Christian Jews.
