Sirach 24:15-17

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ Like cassia and camel’s thorn I gave forth the aroma of spices,
    and like choice myrrh I spread a pleasant odor,
like gal′banum, on′ycha, and stacte,
    and like the fragrance of frankincense in the tabernacle.
¹⁶ Like a terebinth I spread out my branches,
    and my branches are glorious and graceful.
¹⁷ Like a vine I caused loveliness to bud,
    and my blossoms became glorious and abundant fruit.^[a]
