Wisdom of Ben Sira 47:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Your understanding covered the earth,
    and you filled it with difficult sayings.
¹⁶ Your reputation spread to far-distant islands,
    and you were loved for your peaceful reign.
¹⁷ Your songs, your proverbs, your sayings,
    and the answers you provided astounded the nations.
