Sirach 45:25
Good News Translation
Unlike the covenant made with David son of Jesse, from the tribe of Judah, where the kingship passed only from father to son, the priesthood was to pass from Aaron to all his descendants.

New Revised Standard Version
Just as a covenant was established with David son of Jesse of the tribe of Judah, that the king’s heritage passes only from son to son, so the heritage of Aaron is for his descendants alone.

Contemporary English Version
According to this promise made by the Lord, only a descendant of Aaron can be a priest, just as Israel's king must be from the family of David.

New American Bible
For even his covenant with David, the son of Jesse of the tribe of Judah, Was an individual heritage through one son alone; but the heritage of Aaron is for all his descendants. So now bless the LORD who has crowned you with glory!
