Sirach 47:13-15

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹³ Solomon reigned in an age of peace,
    because God gave him rest all around,
so that he might build a house in his name
    and provide a sanctuary to stand forever.^(A)
14 How wise you were when you were young!
    You overflowed like the Nile^[a] with understanding.^(B)
15 Your influence spread throughout the earth,
    and you filled it with proverbs having deep meaning.^(C)
