15 Solomon reigned in days of peace, and God subjected all his enemies to him, so that he might build a house in his name, and prepare a sanctuary for all time. O how well-taught you were in your youth!
16 And you were filled with wisdom like a river, and your mind exposed the world.
17 And you explained mysteries by means of parables. Your name became known to far off islands, and you were beloved for your peace.
18 The earth was in wonder over your canticles, and proverbs, and parables, and interpretations,
19 and over the name of the Lord God, who is known as the God of Israel.
