Proverbs

A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.

These are more wise sayings of Solomon, copied out by the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah.

For he was wiser than all men, even than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman and Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and he had a great name among all the nations round about.

And because the Preacher was wise he still gave the people knowledge; searching out, testing, and putting in order a great number of wise sayings.

All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.

Solomon

And David gave comfort to his wife Bath-sheba, and he went in to her and had connection with her: and she had a son to whom she gave the name Solomon. And he was dear to the Lord.

And Solomon took his place on the seat of David his father, and his kingdom was made safe and strong.

But you will have a son who will be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from wars on every side. His name will be Solomon, and in his time I will give Israel peace and quiet;

And of all my sons (for the Lord has given me a great number of sons) he has made selection of Solomon to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.

And he came to his end after a long life, full of days and great wealth and honour; and Solomon his son became king in his place.

I said to myself, It is right for the old to say what is in their minds, and for those who are far on in years to give out wisdom.
