Chapter 49
| Sira | DRC | 49:1 | The memory of Josias is like the composition of a sweet smell made by the art of a perfumer: | |
| Sira | DRC | 49:2 | His remembrance shall be sweet as honey in every mouth, and as music at a banquet of wine. | |
| Sira | DRC | 49:3 | He was directed by God unto the repentance of the nation, and he took away the abominations of wickedness. | |
| Sira | DRC | 49:4 | And he directed his heart towards the Lord, and in the days of sinners he strengthened godliness. | |
| Sira | DRC | 49:8 | They burnt the chosen city of holiness, and made the streets thereof desolate according to the prediction of Jeremias. | |
| Sira | DRC | 49:9 | For they treated him evil, who was consecrated a prophet from his mother's womb, to overthrow, and pluck up, and destroy, and to build again, and renew. | |
| Sira | DRC | 49:10 | It was Ezechiel that saw the glorious vision, which was shewn him upon the chariot of cherubims. | |
| Sira | DRC | 49:11 | For he made mention of the enemies under the figure of rain, and of doing good to them that shewed right ways. | |
| Sira | DRC | 49:12 | And may the bones of the twelve prophets spring up out of their place: for they strengthened Jacob, and redeemed themselves by strong faith. | |
| Sira | DRC | 49:14 | In like manner Jesus the son of Josedec who in their days built the house, and set up a holy temple to the Lord, prepared for everlasting glory. | |
| Sira | DRC | 49:15 | And let Nehemias be a long time remembered, who raised up for us our walls that were cast down, and set up the gates and the bars, who rebuilt our houses. | |
| Sira | DRC | 49:17 | Nor as Joseph, who was a man born prince of his brethren, the support of his family, the ruler of his brethren, the stay of the people: | |
