Sirach 47:11-13
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
11 The Lord took away his sins,
and exalted his power[a] forever;
he gave him a covenant of kingship
and a glorious throne in Israel.
Solomon
12 After him a wise son rose up
who because of him lived in security:[b]
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 forever.
