Sirach 50:10

10 like an olive tree sprouting fruit, and like a cypress towering to the clouds.

Sirach 50:10 In-Context

8 like a rose blossom in springtime, like lilies by streams of water, like a fresh shoot of the incense tree in the summertime,

9 like fire and incense in an incense burner, like an object of hammered gold adorned with all sorts of precious stones,

10 like an olive tree sprouting fruit, and like a cypress towering to the clouds.

11 When he put on his glorious robe and clothed himself with perfect splendor, when he stepped up to the holy altar, he brought glory to the courts of the temple.

12 When he received the portions of the sacrificial animals from the priests' hands, standing beside the altar's hearth, surrounded by a wreath of brothers, he was like a new cedar of Lebanon, and they surrounded him like palm-tree trunks.
