¹⁴ I grew tall like a palm tree in En-gedi^[a]
    and like rosebushes in Jericho;
like a fair olive tree in the field
    and like a plane tree beside water^[b] I grew tall.^(A)

⁸ like roses in the days of the spring harvest,
    like lilies by springs of water,
    like a green shoot on Lebanon on a summer day,^(A)
