Sirach 36:6-13
-
6 Shew new signs, and make other strange wonders: glorify thy hand and thy right arm, that they may set forth thy wondrous works.
-
7 Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath: take away the adversary, and destroy the enemy.
-
8 Sake the time short, remember the covenant, and let them declare thy wonderful works.
-
9 Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire; and let them perish that oppress the people.
-
10 Smite in sunder the heads of the rulers of the heathen, that say, There is none other but we.
-
11 Gather all the tribes of Jacob together, and inherit thou them, as from the beginning.
-
12 O Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by thy name, and upon Israel, whom thou hast named thy firstborn.
-
13 O be merciful unto Jerusalem, thy holy city, the place of thy rest.
