Sirach 48:17 CPDV

¹⁵  In his life, he gave great portents, and in death, he wrought miracles.

¹⁶  In all these things, the people did not repent, and they did not withdraw from their sins, even until they were cast out of their land, and were dispersed throughout all the earth.

¹⁷  And there was left behind a people very few in number, but with a leader in the house of David.

¹⁸  Some of these did what pleased God. But others committed many sins.

¹⁹  Hezekiah fortified his city, and he brought water into its midst, and he dug into rock with iron, and he built a well for water.
