Ben Sira 24:13

13 I grew tall, like the cedars in Lebanon, like the cypresses on Mount Hermon,

Ben Sira 24:13 In-Context

11 He settled me in the Beloved City and gave me authority over Jerusalem.

12 I put down roots among an honored people whom the Lord had chosen as his own.

13 I grew tall, like the cedars in Lebanon, like the cypresses on Mount Hermon,

14 like the palm trees of Engedi, like the roses of Jericho, like beautiful olive trees in the fields, like plane trees growing by the water.

15 My breath was the spicy smell of cinnamon, of sweet perfume and finest myrrh, of stacte, onycha, and galbanum, the fragrant incense in the Sacred Tent.
