Sirach 47:13-15

Revised Standard Version

¹³ Solomon reigned in days of peace,
    and God gave him rest on every side,
that he might build a house for his name
    and prepare a sanctuary to stand for ever.
¹⁴ How wise you became in your youth!
    You overflowed like a river with understanding.
¹⁵ Your soul covered the earth,
    and you filled it with parables and riddles.
