Sirach 50:5

5 How glorious he was as the people thronged around him when he came out from behind the curtain and left the temple!

Sirach 50:5 In-Context

3 In his time, he dug out a storage basin for water, a reservoir with a circumference like a lake's.

4 He gave forethought to keeping his people from disaster, and he strengthened the city against sieges.

5 How glorious he was as the people thronged around him when he came out from behind the curtain and left the temple!

6 Like a morning star in the midst of a cloud, like the full moon at the time of a feast,

7 like the sun shining on the temple of the Most High, like a rainbow gleaming in glorious clouds,
