Sirach 47:12-14
Common English Bible
Solomon
12 After David a well-instructed son arose,
and because of David,
he enjoyed a large kingdom.[a]
13 Solomon reigned at a time of peace.
God gave him tranquillity on every side,
so that he might build a house
for God’s name
and prepare a sanctuary
that would last forever.
14 How wise you were in your youth!
You were filled
like a river with understanding.
