Sirach 47:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And thou didst multiply riddles in parables: thy name went abroad to the islands far off, and thou wast beloved in thy peace.

¹⁸ The countries wondered at thee for thy canticles, and proverbs, and parables, and interpretations,

¹⁹ And at the name of the Lord God, whose surname is, God of Israel.
