Sirach 48:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ Ezechias fortified his city, and brought in water into the midst thereof, and he digged a rock with iron, and made a well for water.

²⁰ In his days Sennacherib came up, and sent Rabsaces, and lifted up his hand against them, and he stretched out his hand against Sion, and became proud through his power.

²¹ Then their hearts and hands trembled, and they were in pain as women in travail.
