Sirach 24:14-16

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁴ I grew tall like a palm tree in En-gedi^[a]
    and like rosebushes in Jericho;
like a fair olive tree in the field
    and like a plane tree beside water^[b] I grew tall.^(A)
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 odor of incense in the tent.^(B)
16 Like a terebinth I spread out my branches,
    and my branches are glorious and graceful.
