Sirach 24:13-15

Good News Translation

¹³ I grew tall, like the cedars in Lebanon,
    like the cypresses on Mount Hermon,
¹⁴ like the palm trees of Engedi,^[a]
    like the roses of Jericho,
like beautiful olive trees in the fields,
    like plane trees growing by the water.
¹⁵ My breath was the spicy smell of cinnamon,
    of sweet perfume and finest myrrh,
of stacte, onycha, and galbanum,
    the fragrant incense in the Sacred Tent.
