Sirach 47:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ The Lord took away his sins, and exalted his horn for ever: and he gave him a covenant of the kingdom, and a throne of glory in Israel.

¹⁴ After him arose up a wise son, and for his sake he cast down all the power of the enemies.

¹⁵ Solomon reigned in days of peace, and God brought all his enemies under him, that he might build a house in his name, and prepare a sanctuary for ever: O how wise wast thou in thy youth!
