Ben Sira 48:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 In life he performed wonders,
and after death, marvelous deeds.
15 Despite all this the people did not repent,
nor did they give up their sins,
Until they were uprooted from their land
and scattered all over the earth.
Judah
But Judah remained, a tiny people,
with its ruler from the house of David.(A)
16 Some of them did what was right,
but others were extremely sinful.
