Sirach 24:13

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

Sirach 24:13 In-Context

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.
15 Like cinnamon and camel's thorn used for spices, I gave off a fine aroma. Like choice myrrh, I spread forth my fragrance, like galbanum, onycha, and stacte, and like the smell of frankincense in the tent.
