Sirach 24:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² I have stretched out my branches as the turpentine tree, and my branches are of honour and grace.

²³ As the vine I have brought forth a pleasant odour: and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches.

²⁴ I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope.
