Ben Sira 50:5

5 How glorious he was when the people gathered round him as he came out of the inner sanctuary!

Ben Sira 50:5 In-Context

3 In his days a cistern for water was quarried out, a reservoir like the sea in circumference.

4 He considered how to save his people from ruin, and fortified the city to withstand a seige.

5 How glorious he was when the people gathered round him as he came out of the inner sanctuary!

6 Like the morning star among the clouds, like the moon when it is full;

7 like the sun shining upon the temple of the Most High, and like the rainbow gleaming in glorious clouds;
