Sirach 50:10-12

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ like an olive tree putting forth its fruit,
    and like a cypress towering in the clouds.
¹¹ When he put on his glorious robe
    and clothed himself with superb perfection
and went up to the holy altar,
    he made the court of the sanctuary glorious.
¹² And when he received the portions from the hands of the priests,

with a garland of brethren around him,
    he was like a young cedar on Leb′anon;
and they surrounded him like the trunks of palm trees,
