Sirach 50:10-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. like a vessel of solid gold, adorned with every precious stone,

11. like an olive tree producing buds, and like a cypress tree lifting itself on high, when he received the robe of glory and was vested with the consummation of virtue.

12. He gave glory to the vestment of sanctity, when he ascended to the holy altar.

13. Then, when he received the portions from the hands of the priests, he himself stood next to the altar. And around him was the crown of his brethren, like a cedar planted on a mountain of Lebanon.
