Rabanus Maurus, on Sir 47:25

“Wherefore he gave a remnant to Jacob, and to David of the same stock.”

“This wicked innovation was perpetuated among the people of the ten tribes until the Lord enacted his revenge and they were deported to Assyria. When it says, "Until their justification came, and he freed them from all their sins," I think it refers to the justification and freedom of our Savior, who at his coming frees and protects from every enemy those who have turned to faith in him and have been purified from all their sins through baptism in him.”
