Sirach 45:9–12

New Revised Standard Version: Updated EditionOther versions

9And he encircled him with pomegranates,

with many golden bells all around,

to send forth a sound as he walked,

to make their ringing heard in the temple

as a reminder to his people;*

10with the sacred vestment, of gold and violet

and purple, the work of an embroiderer;

with the oracle of judgment, the manifestations of truth;*

11with twisted crimson, the work of an artisan;

with precious stones engraved like seals,

in a setting of gold, the work of a jeweler,

to commemorate in engraved letters

each of the tribes of Israel;*

12with a gold crown upon his turban,

inscribed like a holy seal,

majestic and glorious, a work of power,

a delight to the eyes, richly adorned.*
