Now God gave Solomon wisdom and very great discernment and breadth of mind, like the sand that is on the seashore.

Solomon’s wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the people of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.

For he was wiser than all other people, more than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was known in all the surrounding nations.

He also told three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered 1,005.

He told of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that grows on the wall; he told also of animals, birds, crawling things, and fish.

People came from all the nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.

하나님이 솔로몬에게 지혜와 총명을 심히 많이 주시고 또 넓은 마음을 주시되 바닷가의 모래 같이 하시니

Now God gave Solomon wisdom and very great discernment and breadth of mind, like the sand that is on the seashore.

솔로몬의 지혜가 동쪽 모든 사람의 지혜와 애굽의 모든 지혜보다 뛰어난지라

Solomon’s wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the people of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.

그는 모든 사람보다 지혜로워서 예스라 사람 에단과 마홀의 아들 헤만과 갈골과 다르다보다 나으므로 그의 이름이 사방 모든 나라에 들렸더라

For he was wiser than all other people, more than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was known in all the surrounding nations.

그가 잠언 삼천 가지를 말하였고 그의 노래는 천다섯 편이며

He also told three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered 1,005.

그가 또 초목에 대하여 말하되 레바논의 백향목으로부터 담에 나는 우슬초까지 하고 그가 또 짐승과 새와 기어다니는 것과 물고기에 대하여 말한지라

He told of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that grows on the wall; he told also of animals, birds, crawling things, and fish.

사람들이 솔로몬의 지혜를 들으러 왔으니 이는 그의 지혜의 소문을 들은 천하 모든 왕들이 보낸 자들이더라

People came from all the nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
