29 God gave Solomon wisdom and exceptional insight, and very great understanding, even as the sand that is on the seashore.

30 Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the nations all around.

32 He spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were one thousand five.
