Sirach 50:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷     like the sun shining
    on the temple of the Most High,
    like a rainbow gleaming
    in glorious clouds,
⁸     like a rose blossom in springtime,
    like lilies by streams of water,
    like a fresh shoot of the incense tree
    in the summertime,
⁹     like fire and incense
    in an incense burner,
    like an object of hammered gold
        adorned with all sorts
        of precious stones,
