Sirach 49:10-12

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁰May the bones of the Twelve Prophets
send forth new life from where they lie,
for they comforted the people of Jacob
and delivered them with confident hope.

¹¹How shall we magnify Zerubbabel?
    He was like a signet ring on the right hand,
¹²    and so was Jeshua son of Jozadak;
in their days they built the house
    and raised a temple^[a] holy to the Lord,
    destined for everlasting glory.
