Wisdom of Ben Sira 24:13-15

New Catholic Bible

¹³ “There I grew tall like a cedar on Lebanon,
    like a cypress on Mount Hermon.
¹⁴ I grew tall like a palm tree in En-gedi,
    like a rosebush in Jericho,
like a fair olive tree in the field,
    or like a plane tree beside the water.
¹⁵ Like cinnamon or camel-thorn I gave forth perfume,
    and like choice myrrh I spread my fragrance,
like galbanum, onycha, and spices
    and like the odor of incense in the tent.
