Sirach 47:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 Your fame reached to far-off islands,
and you were loved for your peaceful reign.(A)
17 For your songs, proverbs, parables,
and understanding the nations marveled at you.(B)
18 In the name of the Lord God,
who is called the God of Israel,
you gathered gold like tin
and amassed silver like lead.(C)
