Sirach 24:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ And so was I established in Sion, and in the holy city likewise I rested, and my power was in Jerusalem.

¹⁶ And I took root in an honourable people, and in the portion of my God his inheritance, and my abode is in the full assembly of saints.

¹⁷ I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree on mount Sion.
