13 “I grew tall like a cedar in Leb′anon,
    and like a cypress on the heights of Hermon.
14 I grew tall like a palm tree in En-ged′i,[a]
    and like rose plants in Jericho;
like a beautiful olive tree in the field,
    and like a plane tree I grew tall.
15 Like cassia and camel’s thorn I gave forth the aroma of spices,
    and like choice myrrh I spread a pleasant odor,
like galbanum, onycha, and stacte,
    and like the fragrance of frankincense in the tabernacle.
