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 In the beloved city likewise he gave me a resting place, and in Jerusalem was my dominion.

12 So I took root in an honored people, in the portion of the Lord, who is their inheritance.

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-ge'di, and like rose plants in Jericho; like a beautiful olive tree in the field, and like a plane tree I grew tall.

15 Like cassia and camel's thorn I gave forth the aroma of spices, and like choice myrrh I spread a pleasant odor, like galbanum, onycha, and stacte, and like the fragrance of frankincense in the tabernacle.
