In context

11Likewise in the beloved city he gave me rest, And in Jerusalem was my power.

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

— Sirach 24:13 —

14I was exalted like a palm tree on the sea shore, And as a rose plant in Jericho, As a fair olive tree in a plain, And grew up as a plane tree.

15I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon and aspalathus, And I yielded a pleasant odor like the best myrrh, As galbanum, and onyx, and sweet storax, And as the fume of frankincense in the tabernacle.
