Sirach 49:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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