Ben Sira 50:5

5 How glorious he was when he came out of the Most Holy Place!

Ben Sira 50:5 In-Context

3 The reservoir, as big as the bronze tank, was dug while he was in office.

4 He made plans to protect his people from attack and fortified the city so that it could withstand a siege.

5 How glorious he was when he came out of the Most Holy Place!

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,
