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.
16
Like a terebinth I spread out my branches, and my branches are glorious and graceful.
17
Like the vine I bud forth delights, and my blossoms become glorious and abundant fruit.
19
"Come to me, you who desire me, and eat your fill of my fruits.
