Sirach 24:14-22 World English Bible (WEB)

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.

20. For my memorial is sweeter than honey, And mine inheritance than the honeycomb.

21. They that eat me shall yet be hungry; And they that drink me shall yet be thirsty.

22. He that obeys me shall not be ashamed; And they that work in me shall not do amiss.
