Ben Sira 24:14

14 I was exalted like a palm tree in En-gedi, and as a rose plant in Jericho, as a fair olive tree in a pleasant field, and grew up as a plane tree by the water.

Ben Sira 24:14 In-Context

12 And I took root in an honorable people, even in the portion of the Lord's inheritance.
13 "I was exalted like a cedar in Lebanon, and as a cypress tree upon the mountains of Hermon.
14 I was exalted like a palm tree in En-gedi, and as a rose plant in Jericho, as a fair olive tree in a pleasant field, and grew up as a plane tree by the water.
15 I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon and aspalathus, and I yielded a pleasant odor like the best myrrh, as galbanum, and onycha, and sweet storax, and as the fume of frankincense in the tabernacle.
16 As the turpentine tree I stretched out my branches, and my branches are the branches of honor and grace.
