Sirach 49:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ How shall we magnify Zerubbabel?
    He was like a signet ring on the right hand,
¹²     and so was Jeshua son of Jozadak;
in their days they built the house
    and raised a temple^[a] holy to the Lord,
    destined for everlasting glory.
¹³ The memory of Nehemiah also is lasting;
    he raised our fallen walls,
and set up gates and bars,
    and rebuilt our ruined houses.
