Sirach 50:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁸ like roses in the days of first fruits,
    like lilies by a spring of water,
    like a green shoot on Lebanon on a summer day;
⁹ like fire and incense in the censer,
    like a vessel of hammered gold
    studded with all kinds of precious stones;
¹⁰ like an olive tree laden with fruit,
    and like a cypress towering in the clouds.
