Sirach 48:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ In his days Sennacherib came up, and sent Rabsaces, and lifted up his hand against them, and he stretched out his hand against Sion, and became proud through his power.

²¹ Then their hearts and hands trembled, and they were in pain as women in travail.

²² And they called upon the Lord who is merciful, and spreading their hands, they lifted them up to heaven: and the holy Lord God quickly heard their voice.
