Sirach 48:21-23 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

21. Then their hearts and hands shook. And they were in pain, like women giving birth.

22. And they called upon the merciful Lord. And they spread their hands and lifted them up to heaven. And the holy Lord God quickly heeded their voice.

23. He was not mindful of their sins, and he did not give them over to their enemies. Instead, he purified them by the hand of Isaiah, the holy prophet.
