Sirach 45:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 And he encircled him with pomegranates,
with many golden bells all around,
to send forth a sound as he walked,
to make their ringing heard in the temple
as a reminder to his people;(A)
10 with the sacred vestment, of gold and violet
and purple, the work of an embroiderer;
with the oracle of judgment, the manifestations of truth;(B)
11 with twisted crimson, the work of an artisan;
with precious stones engraved like seals,
in a setting of gold, the work of a jeweler,
to commemorate in engraved letters
each of the tribes of Israel;(C)
