1The greatest among his brethren, the glory of his people, was SIMON the priest, son of Jochanan, In whose time the house of God was renovated, in whose days the temple was reinforced.2In his time also the wall was built with powerful turrets for the temple precincts;3In his time the reservoir was dug, the pool with a vastness like the sea's.4He protected his people against brigands and strengthened his city against the enemy.5How splendid he was as he appeared from the tent, as he came from within the veil!6Like a star shining among the clouds, like the full moon at the holyday season;7Like the sun shining upon the temple, like the rainbow appearing in the cloudy sky;8Like the blossoms on the branches in springtime, like a lily on the banks of a stream; Like the trees of Lebanon in summer,9like the fire of incense at the sacrifice; Like a vessel of beaten gold, studded with precious stones;10Like a luxuriant olive tree thick with fruit, like a cypress standing against the clouds;11Vested in his magnificent robes, and wearing his garments of splendor, As he ascended the glorious altar and lent majesty to the court of the sanctuary.12When he received the sundered victims from the priests while he stood before the sacrificial wood, His brethren ringed him about like a garland, like a stand of cedars on Lebanon;13All the sons of Aaron in their dignity clustered around him like poplars, With the offerings to the LORD in their hands, in the presence of the whole assembly of Israel.14Once he had completed the services at the altar with the arranging of the sacrifices for the Most High,15And had stretched forth his hand for the cup, to offer blood of the grape, And poured it out at the foot of the altar, a sweet-smelling odor to the Most High God,16The sons of Aaron would sound a blast, the priests, on their trumpets of beaten metal; A blast to resound mightily as a reminder before the Most High.17Then all the people with one accord would quickly fall prostrate to the ground In adoration before the Most High, before the Holy One of Israel.18Then hymns would re-echo, and over the throng sweet strains of praise resound.19All the people of the land would shout for joy, praying to the Merciful One, As the high priest completed the services at the altar by presenting to God the sacrifice due;20Then coming down he would raise his hands over all the congregation of Israel. The blessing of the LORD would be upon his lips, the name of the LORD would be his glory.21Then again the people would lie prostrate to receive from him the blessing of the Most High.22And now, bless the God of all, who has done wondrous things on earth; Who fosters men's growth from their mother's womb, and fashions them according to his will!23May he grant you joy of heart and may peace abide among you;24May his goodness toward us endure in Israel as long as the heavens are above.25My whole being loathes two nations, the third is not even a people:26Those who live in Seir and Philistia, and the degenerate folk who dwell in Shechem.27Wise instruction, appropriate proverbs, I have written in this book, I, Jesus, son of Eleazar, son of Sirach, as they gushed forth from my heart's understanding.28Happy the man who meditates upon these things, wise the man who takes them to heart!29If he puts them into practice, he can cope with anything, for the fear of the LORD is his lamp.
