Sirach 49:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ They mistreated him,
    even though he had been set apart
    from the womb to be a prophet
        to uproot, ruin, destroy,
        and likewise to build and plant.

⁸ Ezekiel saw a vision of glory,
    when God showed him
    the chariot of the winged creatures.
⁹ He remembered the enemies
in the storm,
and favored those keeping
to a righteous path.^[a]
