Sirach 47:12-14
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
Solomon
12 After him a wise son rose up
who because of him lived in security:[a]
13 Solomon reigned in an age of peace,
because God made all his borders tranquil,
so that he might build a house in his name
and provide a sanctuary to stand for ever.
14 How wise you were when you were young!
You overflowed like the Nile[b] with understanding.
