6 who set fire to the chosen city of the sanctuary, and made its streets desolate, as Jeremiah had foretold.

Ben Sira 49:6 In-Context

4 Except for David and Hezekiah and Josiah, all of them were great sinners, for they abandoned the law of the Most High; the kings of Judah came to an end.

5 They gave their power to others, and their glory to a foreign nation,

6 who set fire to the chosen city of the sanctuary, and made its streets desolate, as Jeremiah had foretold.

7 For they had mistreated him, who even in the womb had been consecrated a prophet, to pluck up and ruin and destroy, and likewise to build and to plant.

8 It was Ezekiel who saw the vision of glory, which God showed him above the chariot of the cherubim.
