New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
29
Now God gave Solomon wisdom and very great discernment and breadth of mind, like the sand that is on the seashore.
30
Solomon’s wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the people of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.
31
For he was wiser than all
other
people,
more
than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was
known
in all the surrounding nations.
32
He also told three thousand proverbs, and his songs
numbered
1,005.
33
He told of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that grows on the wall; he told also of animals, birds, crawling things, and fish.
34
People
came from all the nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
King James Version
