Sirach 47:14-18 World English Bible (WEB)

14. How wise was you made in your youth, And filled as a river with understanding!

15. Your soul covered the earth, And you filled it with dark parables.

16. Your name reached to the aisles afar off; And for your peace you were beloved.

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

18. By the name of the Lord God, Which is called the God of Israel, You did gather gold as tin, And did multiply silver as lead.
