And when Ecclesiastes was most wise, he taught the people, and he told out the things which he did, and he sought out wisdom, and made many parables;
Thy men be blessed, and thy servants be blessed, these that stand before thee ever[more], and hear thy wisdom.
And Solomon spake three thousand parables, and his songs were a thousand and five;
Also the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, as he spake to him; and peace was betwixt Hiram and Solomon, and both they smote together bond of peace.
The parables of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel;
The parables of Solomon. A wise son maketh glad his father; but a fond [or foolish] son is the sorrow of his mother.
Also these be the Parables of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah, translated.
Forsooth they that be taught, [or wise], shall shine as the shining of the firmament, and they that teach many men to rightfulness [or rightwiseness], shall shine as stars into everlasting everlastingnesses.
