Ecclesiasticus 50:7-12 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

7. And as the sun when it shineth, so did he shine in the temple of God.

8. And as the rainbow giving light in the bright clouds, and as the flower of roses in the days of the spring, and as the lilies that are on the brink of the water, and as the sweet smelling frankincense in the time of summer.

9. As a bright Are, and frankincense burning in the fire.

10. As a massy vessel of gold, adorned with every precious stone.

11. As an olive tree budding forth, and a cypress tree rearing itself on high, when he put on the robe of glory, and was clothed with the perfection of power.

12. When he went up to the holy altar, he honoured the vesture of holiness.
