Wisdom of Ben Sira 48:19-21
New Catholic Bible
19 As a result, the people’s hearts were unnerved and their hands trembled;
they were in anguish, like that of women in labor.
20 But they called upon the merciful Lord,
stretching out their hands toward him.
In heaven the Holy One swiftly heard their cries,
and he delivered them through Isaiah.
21 God struck the camp of the Assyrians,
and his angel annihilated them.
