Sirach 49:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

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^[a] showed him above the chariot of the cherubim.
⁹For God^[b] also mentioned Job
who held fast to all the ways of justice.^[c]
