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.
16
Like a terebinth I spread out my branches, and my branches are glorious and graceful.
17
Like a vine I caused loveliness to bud, and my blossoms became glorious and abundant fruit.
