Ben Sira 24:12

12 And I took root in an honorable people, even in the portion of the Lord's inheritance.

Ben Sira 24:12 In-Context

10 In the holy tabernacle I served before Him, and so was I established in Zion.
11 Likewise in the beloved city He gave me rest, and in Jerusalem was my power.
12 And I took root in an honorable people, even in the portion of the Lord's inheritance.
13 "I was exalted like a cedar in Lebanon, and as a cypress tree upon the mountains of Hermon.
14 I was exalted like a palm tree in En-gedi, 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.
