12. I took root in a glorified people;among the people the Lord chosefor his inheritance.
13. ‘I rose high like a cedar in Lebanon,like a cypress on Mount Hermon.
14. I rose high like a palm in En-geddi,and like rosebushes in Jericho,like a fair olive tree in a field.I rose high like a plane tree.
15. Like cinnamon and camel’s thornused for spices,I gave off a fine aroma.Like choice myrrh,I spread forth my fragrance,like galbanum, onycha, and stacte,and like the smell of frankincensein the tent.
16. Like a terebinth oakI spread out my branches,and my branches were gloriousand graceful.
17. Gracious favor was the leafthat I put forth like a vine,and honor and wealthwere the fruit that my blossoms bore.
19. "Come to me, you who desire me,and take your fill of my produce.
20. Calling me to mind is sweeterthan honey,and possessing meis better than a dripping honeycomb.
21. Those who eat of me will hungerfor more,and those who drink of mewill thirst for more.
