13
I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree upon the mountains of Hermon.
14
I was exalted like a palm tree in En-gaddi, and as a rose plant in Jericho, as a fair olive tree in a pleasant field, and grew up as a plane tree by the water.
15
I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon and aspalathus, and I yielded a pleasant odour like the best myrrh, as galbanum, and onyx, and sweet storax, and as the fume of frankincense in the tabernacle.
16
As the turpentine tree I stretched out my branches, and my branches are the branches of honour and grace.
17
As the vine brought I forth pleasant savour, and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches.
18
I am the mother of fair love, and fear, and knowledge, and holy hope: I therefore, being eternal, am given to all my children which are named of him.
19
Come unto me, all ye that be desirous of me, and fill yourselves with my fruits.
20
For my memorial is sweeter than honey, and mine inheritance than the honeycomb.
21
They that eat me shall yet be hungry, and they that drink me shall yet be thirsty.
22
He that obeyeth me shall never be confounded, and they that work by me shall not do amiss.
23
All these things are the book of the covenant of the most high God, even the law which Moses commanded for an heritage unto the congregations of Jacob.
