29 Deus concedeu a Salomão grande sabedoria e entendimento, e conhecimento tão vasto quanto a areia na beira do mar. 30 Sua sabedoria era maior que a de todos os sábios do Oriente e de todos os sábios do Egito. 31 Ele era mais sábio que qualquer outra pessoa, incluindo Etã, o ezraíta, e Hemã, Calcol e Darda, filhos de Maol. Sua fama se espalhou por todas as nações vizinhas. 32 Compôs 3.000 provérbios e escreveu 1.005 canções.

29 And God gave Solomon exceedingly much wisdom and understanding, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore.

30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the sons 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 round about.

32 And he spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were a thousand and five.
