29 Dieu donna à Salomon de la sagesse, une très grande intelligence, et des connaissances multipliées comme le sable qui est au bord de la mer.

30 La sagesse de Salomon surpassait la sagesse de tous les fils de l’Orient et toute la sagesse des Égyptiens.

31 Il était plus sage qu’aucun homme, plus qu’Éthan, l’Ezrachite, plus qu’Héman, Calcol et Darda, les fils de Machol; et sa renommée était répandue parmi toutes les nations d’alentour.

32 Il a prononcé trois mille sentences, et composé mille cinq cantiques.

33 Il a parlé sur les arbres, depuis le cèdre du Liban jusqu’à l’hysope qui sort de la muraille; il a aussi parlé sur les animaux, sur les oiseaux, sur les reptiles et sur les poissons.
