Sirach 49:7-9
Revised Standard Version
7 For they had afflicted him;
yet he had been consecrated in the womb as prophet,
to pluck up and afflict and destroy,
and likewise to build and to plant.
8 It was Ezekiel who saw the vision of glory
which God[a] showed him above the chariot of the cherubim.
9 For God[b] remembered his enemies with storm,
and did good to those who directed their ways aright.[c]
