Ben Sira 47:17

17 For your songs and proverbs and parables, and for your interpretations, the countries marveled at you.

Ben Sira 47:17 In-Context

15 Your soul covered the earth, and you filled it with parables and riddles.

16 Your name reached to far-off islands, and you were loved for your peace.

17 For your songs and proverbs and parables, and for your interpretations, the countries marveled at you.

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.

19 But you laid your loins beside women, and through your body you were brought into subjection.
