Sirach 48:14-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 In his life he did wonders,
and in death his deeds were marvelous.
15 Despite all this the people did not repent,
nor did they forsake their sins,
until they were carried off as plunder from their land
and were scattered over all the earth.
The people were left very few in number
but with a ruler from the house of David.(A)
16 Some of them did what was right,
but others sinned more and more.
