30 And Solomon's <08010> wisdom <02451> excelled <07235> (8799) the wisdom <02451> of all the children <01121> of the east country <06924>, and all the wisdom <02451> of Egypt <04714>.
31 For he was wiser <02449> (8799) than all men <0120>; than Ethan <0387> the Ezrahite <0250>, and Heman <01968>, and Chalcol <03633>, and Darda <01862>, the sons <01121> of Mahol <04235>: and his fame <08034> was in all nations <01471> round about <05439>.
32 And he spake <01696> (8762) three <07969> thousand <0505> proverbs <04912>: and his songs <07892> were a thousand <0505> and five <02568>.
33 And he spake <01696> (8762) of trees <06086>, from the cedar tree <0730> that is in Lebanon <03844> even unto the hyssop <0231> that springeth out <03318> (8802) of the wall <07023>: he spake <01696> (8762) also of beasts <0929>, and of fowl <05775>, and of creeping things <07431>, and of fishes <01709>.
