17. In a voice, he says: Listen to me, divine fruits. You shall bear fruit, like roses planted beside streams of waters.
18. You shall have a sweet fragrance, like the cedars of Lebanon.
19. Blossom with flowers, like the lily, and diffuse a fragrance, and sprout leaves in grace, and give praise with canticles, and bless the Lord in his works.
20. Give magnificence to his name, and confess to him with the voice of your lips and with the canticles of your mouth and with stringed instruments. And in so praising him, you will confess:
21. All the works of the Lord are very good.
