Sirach 47:17 In-Context

15 Your spirit filled the earth, and you were full of puzzling proverbs.

16 Your name reached faraway islands, and you were dearly loved because of your peaceful rule.

17 Countries marveled at you on account of your songs, parables, proverbs, and teachings.

18 In the Lord God's name, who is called God over Israel, you collected gold like tin, and you amassed silver like lead.

19 You gave yourself to women, and you were subdued by your own body.
