Sirach 24:12

12 I took root in a glorified people; among the people the Lord chose for his inheritance.

Sirach 24:12 In-Context

10 I ministered before him in the holy tent, and so I was established in Zion.

11 In the same way, he made the dearly loved city my resting place and established my authority in Jerusalem.

12 I took root in a glorified people; among the people the Lord chose for his inheritance.

13 ‘I rose high like a cedar in Lebanon, like a cypress on Mount Hermon.

14 I rose high like a palm in En-geddi, and like rosebushes in Jericho, like a fair olive tree in a field. I rose high like a plane tree.
