Ben Sira 36:5-13

5 Then they will know, as we have known, that there is no God but you, O Lord.

6 Give new signs, and work other wonders;

7 make your hand and right arm glorious.

8 Rouse your anger and pour out your wrath;

9 destroy the adversary and wipe out the enemy.

10 Hasten the day, and remember the appointed time, and let people recount your mighty deeds.

11 Let survivors be consumed in the fiery wrath, and may those who harm your people meet destruction.

12 Crush the heads of hostile rulers who say, "There is no one but ourselves."

13 Gather all the tribes of Jacob,
