Sirach 24:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ My breath was the spicy smell of cinnamon,
    of sweet perfume and finest myrrh,
of stacte, onycha, and galbanum,
    the fragrant incense in the Sacred Tent.
¹⁶ Like an oak I spread out my branches,
    magnificent and graceful.
¹⁷ Like a grapevine I put out lovely shoots;
    my blossoms gave way to rich and glorious fruit.^[a]
