Sirach 50:10-12
Common English Bible
10 like an olive tree sprouting fruit,
and like a cypress towering
to the clouds.
11 When he put on his glorious robe
and clothed himself
with perfect splendor,[a]
when he stepped up to the holy altar,
he brought glory to the courts
of the temple.
12 When he received the portions
of the sacrificial animals[b]
from the priests’ hands,
standing beside the altar’s hearth, surrounded by a wreath of brothers,
he was like a new cedar of Lebanon,
and they surrounded him
like palm-tree trunks.
