Ben Sira 24:13

13 "I grew tall like a cedar in Lebanon, and like a cypress on the heights of Hermon.

Ben Sira 24:13 In-Context

11 Thus in the beloved city he gave me a resting place, and in Jerusalem was my domain.

12 I took root in an honored people, in the portion of the Lord, his heritage.

13 "I grew tall like a cedar in Lebanon, and like a cypress on the heights of Hermon.

14 I grew tall like a palm tree in En-gedi, and like rosebushes in Jericho; like a fair olive tree in the field, and like a plane tree beside water I grew tall.

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.
