Wisdom of Ben Sira 49:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 The chosen city, the city of the sanctuary, was set on fire,
and its streets were left desolate,
7 as Jeremiah had predicted.
For they had mistreated him,
even though while still in the womb he had been consecrated a prophet
to uproot, pull down, and destroy,
but also to build and plant.
In the Exile and the Restoration
8 Ezekiel was privileged to behold a vision of glory,
which God showed to him above the chariot of the cherubim.
