Wisdom of Ben Sira 47:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 How wise you were in your youth, Solomon,
filled with intelligence like an overflowing river![a]
15 Your understanding covered the earth,
and you filled it with difficult sayings.
16 Your reputation spread to far-distant islands,
and you were loved for your peaceful reign.
