Wisdom of Ben Sira 48:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ The people who were left were few in number,
    under a ruler from the house of David.
Some of them did what was right,
    but others continued to sin, and to a far greater extent.

¹⁷ Hezekiah fortified his city
    and brought water into it;
with iron tools he cut through the rock
    and built cisterns to hold the water.
¹⁸ During his reign Sennacherib invaded the country
    and sent Rabshakeh,^[b] his commander.
He shook his fist against Zion,
    and in his arrogance he boasted loudly.
