Sirach 50:6-8

Revised Standard Version

⁶ Like the morning star among the clouds,
    like the moon when it is full;
⁷ like the sun shining upon the temple of the Most High,
    and like the rainbow gleaming in glorious clouds;
⁸ like roses in the days of the first fruits,
    like lilies by a spring of water,
    like a green shoot on Leb′anon^[a] on a summer day;
