Ben Sira 50:8

8 like roses in the days of the first fruits, like lilies by a spring of water, like a green shoot on Lebanon on a summer day;

Ben Sira 50:8 In-Context

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;

8 like roses in the days of the first fruits, like lilies by a spring of water, like a green shoot on Lebanon on a summer day;

9 like fire and incense in the censer, like a vessel of hammered gold adorned with all kinds of precious stones;

10 like an olive tree putting forth its fruit, and like a cypress towering in the clouds.
