Sir 47:16
King James Version
“Thy name went far unto the islands; and for thy peace thou wast beloved.”
Context
13Solomon reigned in a peaceable time, and was honoured; for God made all quiet round about him, that he might build an house in his name, and prepare his sanctuary for ever.
14How wise wast thou in thy youth and, as a flood, filled with understanding!
15Thy soul covered the whole earth, and thou filledst it with dark parables.
16Thy name went far unto the islands; and for thy peace thou wast beloved.
17The countries marvelled at thee for thy songs, and proverbs, and parables, and interpretations.
18By the name of the Lord God, which is called the Lord God of Israel, thou didst gather gold as tin and didst multiply silver as lead.
19Thou didst bow thy loins unto women, and by thy body thou wast brought into subjection.
