How wise you were in your youth! You were filled like a river with understanding.
After him arose up a wise son, and for his sake he cast down all the power of the enemies.
How wise you were, Solomon, when you were young! Your knowledge was like the Nile in flood.
How wise you were when you were young, overflowing with instruction, like the Nile in flood!
How wise you were in your youth, Solomon, filled with intelligence like an overflowing river!
How wise you were when you were young! You overflowed like the Nile with understanding.
How wise you were when you were young! You overflowed like the Nile with understanding.
How wise you were when you were young! You overflowed like the Nile with understanding.
How wise you were when you were young! You overflowed like the Nile with understanding.
How wise you became in your youth! You overflowed like a river with understanding.
How wise you became in your youth! You overflowed like a river with understanding.
And he was filled with wisdom as a flood is filled; and his soul uncovered the earth. [And he is full-filled as a flood with wisdom; and his soul again-covered the earth.]
