Sirach 49:8

⁶They burnt the chosen city of the sanctuary, and made the streets desolate, according to the prophecy of Jeremias.

⁷For they entreated him evil, who nevertheless was a prophet, sanctified in his mother’s womb, that he might root out, and afflict, and destroy; and that he might build up also, and plant.

— Sirach 49:8 —

⁹For he made mention of the enemies under the figure of the rain, and directed them that went right.

¹⁰And of the twelve prophets let the memorial be blessed, and let their bones flourish again out of their place: for they comforted Jacob, and delivered them by assured hope.
