Sirach 24:8-10

⁸ Then my Creator, who created the universe,
    told me where I was to live.
Make your home in Israel, he said.
    The descendants of Jacob will be your people.
⁹ He created me in eternity, before time began,
    and I will exist for all eternity to come.
¹⁰ I served him in the Sacred Tent
    and then made my home on Mount Zion.
