Sirach 47:14-16

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁴ How wise you were when you were young!
    You overflowed like the Nile^[a] with understanding.
¹⁵ Your influence spread throughout the earth,
    and you filled it with proverbs having deep meaning.
¹⁶ Your fame reached to far-off islands,
    and you were loved for your peaceful reign.
