Sirach 50:11 CPDV

⁹  like a fire shining brightly, and like frankincense burning within a fire,

¹⁰  like a vessel of solid gold, adorned with every precious stone,

¹¹  like an olive tree producing buds, and like a cypress tree lifting itself on high, when he received the robe of glory and was vested with the consummation of virtue.

¹²  He gave glory to the vestment of sanctity, when he ascended to the holy altar.

¹³  Then, when he received the portions from the hands of the priests, he himself stood next to the altar. And around him was the crown of his brethren, like a cedar planted on a mountain of Lebanon.
