Sirach 49:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁶who set fire to the chosen city of the sanctuary,
    and made its streets desolate,
    as Jeremiah had foretold.^[a]
⁷For they had maltreated him,
    who even in the womb had been consecrated a prophet,
to pluck up and ruin and destroy,
    and likewise to build and to plant.

⁸It was Ezekiel who saw the vision of glory,
which God^[b] showed him above the chariot of the cherubim.
