Sir 50:10
King James Version
“And as a fair olive tree budding forth fruit, and as a cypress tree which groweth up to the clouds.”
Context
7As the sun shining upon the temple of the most High, and as the rainbow giving light in the bright clouds:
8And as the flower of roses in the spring of the year, as lilies by the rivers of waters, and as the branches of the frankincense tree in the time of summer:
9As fire and incense in the censer, and as a vessel of beaten gold set with all manner of precious stones:
10And as a fair olive tree budding forth fruit, and as a cypress tree which groweth up to the clouds.
11When he put on the robe of honour, and was clothed with the perfection of glory, when he went up to the holy altar, he made the garment of holiness honourable.
12When he took the portions out of the priests’ hands, he himself stood by the hearth of the altar, compassed about, as a young cedar in Libanus; and as palm trees compassed they him round about.
13So were all the sons of Aaron in their glory, and the oblations of the Lord in their hands, before all the congregation of Israel.
