Wisdom of Ben Sira 50:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ like the sun shining on the temple of the Most High,
    like the rainbow appearing in a cloudy sky,
⁸ like a rose in springtime,
    like a lily by a spring of water,
like a green shoot on Lebanon on a summer’s day,
⁹     like incense set afire in the censer,
like a vessel of beaten gold
    embellished with every kind of precious stone,
