Sirach 47:15-17

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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.
