In context

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

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.

— Sirach 24:15 —

16As the turpentine tree I stretched out my branches, And my branches are the branches of honor and grace.

17As the vine brought I forth pleasant savor, And my flowers are the fruit of honor and riches.
