13
Solomon reigned in a peaceable time, and was honored; for God made all quiet round about him, that he might build a house in His name, and prepare His sanctuary for ever.
14
How wise wast thou in thy youth and, as a flood, filled with understanding!
15
Thy soul covered the whole earth, and thou filled it with dark parables.
16
Thy name went far unto the islands, and for thy peace thou wast beloved.
17
The countries marveled at thee for thy songs, and proverbs, and parables, and interpretations.
