29 And God ⁱgave Solomon wisdom and understanding beyond measure, and breadth of mind like the sand on the seashore, 30 so that Solomon’s wisdom ^jsurpassed the wisdom of all the people of the east and all the ^kwisdom of Egypt. 31 For he was wiser than all other men, wiser than ^lEthan the Ezrahite, and Heman, ^mCalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol, and his fame was in all the surrounding nations. 32 He also spoke 3,000 ⁿproverbs, and his ^osongs were 1,005. 33 He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon to the hyssop that grows out of the wall. He spoke also of beasts, and of birds, and of reptiles, and of fish. 34 And people of all nations ^pcame to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
