Wisdom of Ben Sira 45:9-11
New Catholic Bible
9 To encircle the hem of his robe he gave him pomegranates,
with many golden bells all around,
to sound melodiously as he walked,
ringing aloud throughout the temple
as a reminder to his people;
10 with the sacred vestment of gold and violet,
and purple, the work of an embroiderer;
with the oracle of judgment, the sacred lots;
11 with scarlet thread, the product of an artisan;
with precious stones engraved like seals,
mounted in gold, the work of a jeweler,
to commemorate with inscriptions
each of the tribes of Israel;
