Sirach 48:16-18
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
16 Some of them did what was right,
but others sinned more and more.
Hezekiah
17 Hezekiah fortified his city,
and brought water into its midst;
he tunnelled the rock with iron tools,
and built cisterns for the water.
18 In his days Sennacherib invaded the country;
he sent his commander[a] and departed;
he shook his fist against Zion,
and made great boasts in his arrogance.
