Ecclesiastes 12:9

And whereas Ecclesiastes was very wise, he taught the people, and declared the things that he had done: and seeking out, he set forth many parables.

See the chapter Copy

Solomon also spoke three thousand parables: and his poems were a thousand and five.

The parables of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.

These are also parables of Solomon, which the men of Ezechias king of Juda copied out.

A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother.

Blessed are thy men, and blessed are thy servants, who stand before thee always, and hear thy wisdom.

And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they two made a league together.
