Sirach 50:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ like the sun shining on the temple of the Most High,
    like the rainbow gleaming in splendid clouds;
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;
