Ben Sira 50:8

8 like roses in springtime, like lilies beside a stream, like the cedars of Lebanon in summer,

Ben Sira 50:8 In-Context

6 He was like the morning star shining through the clouds, like the full moon,

7 like the sun shining on the Temple of the Most High, like the rainbow gleaming in glory against the clouds,

8 like roses in springtime, like lilies beside a stream, like the cedars of Lebanon in summer,

9 like burning incense, like a cup made of hammered gold and decorated with all kinds of jewels,

10 like an olive tree loaded with fruit, like a cypress tree towering into the clouds.
