Ben Sira 49:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 As foretold by Jeremiah.(A) They mistreated him
who even in the womb had been made a prophet,
To root out, pull down, and destroy,
and then to build and to plant.(B)
8 Ezekiel beheld a vision
and described the different creatures of the chariot;(C)
9 He also referred to Job,
who always persevered in the right path.(D)
