Sirach 24:11-19 World English Bible (WEB)

11. In the beloved city likewise he gave me rest; And in Jerusalem was my authority.

12. And I took root in a people that was glorified, Even in the portion of the Lord’s own inheritance.

13. I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, And as a cypress tree on the mountains of Hermon.

14. I was exalted like a palm tree on the sea shore, And as rose plants in Jericho, And as a fair olive tree in the plain; And I was exalted as a plane tree.

15. As cinnamon and aspalathus, I have given a scent of perfumes; And as choice myrrh, I spread abroad a pleasant odour; As galbanum, and onyx, and stacte, And as the fume of frankincense in the tabernacle.

16. As the terebinth I stretched out my branches; And my branches are branches of glory and grace.

17. As the vine I put forth grace; And my flowers are the fruit of glory and riches.

19. Come to me, you⌃ that are desirous of me, And be you⌃ filled with my produce.
