Sirach 50:8 CPDV

⁶  He shined in his days like the morning star through the midst of a cloud, and like the full moon.

⁷  And he shined forth in the temple of God in this manner: like the sun when it shines brightly,

⁸  and like a rainbow shining amid clouds of glory, and like flowering roses in the days of spring, and like lilies along the water's edge, and like sweet smelling frankincense in the days of summer,

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,
