Sirach 50:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ Like the morning star among the clouds,
    like the full moon at the festal season;^[a]
7 like the sun shining on the temple of the Most High,
    like the rainbow gleaming in splendid clouds;
⁸ like roses in the days of first fruits,
    like lilies by a spring of water,
    like a green shoot on Lebanon on a summer day;
