Wisdom of Ben Sira 49:10-12
New Catholic Bible
10 May the bones of the Twelve Prophets
send forth new life from where they lie,
for they gave new strength to the people of Jacob
and saved them with confident hope.
The Pioneers of the Jewish Restoration[a]
11 How can we find suitable words to praise Zerubbabel,

12 So too was Jeshua, the son of Jozadak;
in their days they rebuilt the house
and raised a temple holy to the Lord,
destined for everlasting glory.
