Sirach 47:12-17 World English Bible (WEB)

12. After him rose up a son, a man of understanding; And for his sake he lived at large.

13. Solomon reigned in days of peace; And to him God gave rest round about, That he might set up a house for his name, And prepare a sanctuary for ever.

14. How wise was you made in your youth, And filled as a river with understanding!

15. Your soul covered the earth, And you filled it with dark parables.

16. Your name reached to the aisles afar off; And for your peace you were beloved.

17. For your songs and proverbs and parables, And for your interpretations, the countries marveled at you.
