Sirach 49:11

Zerubbabel, Joshua, and Nehemiah

11 How should we praise Zerubbabel? He also was like a signet ring on the right hand,

Sirach 49:11 In-Context

9 He remembered the enemies in the storm, and favored those keeping to a righteous path.

10 May the bones of the twelve prophets sprout new life from their burial places, because they comforted Jacob and rescued them with hopeful confidence.

11 How should we praise Zerubbabel? He also was like a signet ring on the right hand,

12 as was Joshua, Jozadak's son. In their time, they built a house and raised a holy temple to the Lord, prepared for everlasting glory.

13 Nehemiah's memory is lasting; he who raised our fallen walls, set up gates and bars, and rebuilt our buildings.
