Sirach 49:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ For the kings of Juda forsook the law of the most High, and despised the fear of God.

⁷ So they gave their kingdom to others, and their glory to a strange nation.

⁸ They burnt the chosen city of holiness, and made the streets thereof desolate according to the prediction of Jeremias.
