Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 24:14

ὡς φοῖνιξ ἀνυψώθην ἐν αἰγιαλοῖς καὶ ὡς φυτὰ ρόδου ἐν Ἱεριχώ, ὡς ἐλαία εὐπρεπὴς ἐν πεδίῳ, καὶ ἀνυψώθην ὡς πλάτανος.
King James Version (KJV)

I was exalted like a palm tree in Engaddi, and as a rose plant in Jericho, as a fair olive tree in a pleasant field, and grew up as a plane tree by the water.

Modern English

I grew tall like a palm tree in Engedi, like a rosebush in Jericho, like a fine olive tree in the plain, and I grew like a plane tree by the water.
