Sirach 48:9-11
Revised Standard Version
9 You who were taken up by a whirlwind of fire,
in a chariot with horses of fire;
10 you who are ready[a] at the appointed time, it is written,
to calm the wrath of God before it breaks out in fury,
to turn the heart of the father to the son,
and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
11 Blessed are those who saw you,
and those who have been adorned[b] in love;
for we also shall surely live.[c]
