Sirach 24:14-16

Good News Translation

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.
¹⁶ Like an oak I spread out my branches,
    magnificent and graceful.
