Sirach 49:11-13

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ How shall we magnify Zerub′babel?
    He was like a signet on the right hand,
¹²     and so was Jeshua the son of Jo′zadak;
in their days they built the house
    and raised a temple^[a] holy to the Lord,
    prepared for everlasting glory.
¹³ The memory of Nehemi′ah also is lasting;
    he raised for us the walls that had fallen,
and set up the gates and bars
    and rebuilt our ruined houses.
