Sirach 50:4 CPDV

²  Even the height of the temple was established by him: the double building and the high walls of the temple.

³  In his days, waters flowed out from the wells, and these were full beyond measure, like the sea.

⁴  He cared for his nation, and he freed it from perdition.

⁵  He prevailed, so as to enlarge the city. And he obtained glory by his behavior among the people. And he enlarged the entrance of the house and of the atrium.

⁶  He shined in his days like the morning star through the midst of a cloud, and like the full moon.
