Sirach 24:13-15
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
13 ‘I grew tall like a cedar in Lebanon,
and like a cypress on the heights of Hermon.
14 I grew tall like a palm tree in En-gedi,[a]
and like rose-bushes in Jericho;
like a fair olive tree in the field,
and like a plane tree beside water[b] I grew tall.
15 Like cassia and camel’s thorn I gave forth perfume,
and like choice myrrh I spread my fragrance,
like galbanum, onycha, and stacte,
and like the odour of incense in the tent.
