horses: Sir 48:10 Who wast ordained for reproofs in their times, to pacify the wrath of the Lord's judgment, before it brake forth into fury, and to turn the heart of the father unto the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob. Sir 48:11 Blessed are they that saw thee, and slept in love; for we shall surely live. Sir 48:12 Elias it was, who was covered with a whirlwind: and Eliseus was filled with his spirit: whilst he lived, he was not moved with the presence of any prince, neither could any bring him into subjection. Sir 48:13 No word could overcome him; and after his death his body prophesied. Sir 48:14 He did wonders in his life, and at his death were his works marvellous. Sir 48:15 For all this the people repented not, neither departed they from their sins, till they were spoiled and carried out of their land, and were scattered through all the earth: yet there remained a small people, and a ruler in the house of David: Sir 48:16 Of whom some did that which was pleasing to God, and some multiplied sins. Sir 48:17 Ezekias fortified his city, and brought in water into the midst thereof: he digged the hard rock with iron, and made wells for waters.

Sir 48:22 For Ezekias had done the thing that pleased the Lord, and was strong in the ways of David his father, as Esay the prophet, who was great and faithful in his vision, had commanded him. Sir 48:23 In his time the sun went backward, and he lengthened the king's life. Sir 48:24 He saw by an excellent spirit what should come to pass at the last, and he comforted them that mourned in Sion. Sir 48:25 He shewed what should come to pass for ever, and secret things or ever they came. Sir 49:1 The remembrance of Josias is like the composition of the perfume that is made by the art of the apothecary: it is sweet as honey in all mouths, and as musick at a banquet of wine. Sir 49:2 He behaved himself uprightly in the conversion of the peop
