- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Mihi autem dedit Deus dicere ex sententia, et præsumere digna horum quæ mihi dantur : quoniam ipse sapientiæ dux est, et sapientium emendator.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ἐμοὶ δὲ δῴη ὁ θεὸς εἰπεῖν κατὰ γνώμην καὶ ἐνθυμηθῆναι ἀξίως τῶν δεδομένων, ὅτι αὐτὸς καὶ τῆς σοφίας ὁδηγός ἐστιν καὶ τῶν σοφῶν διορθωτής.
Haydock's commentary
Would. With sincerity, and in a sententious and captivating manner, 3 Kings ix. 24. (Calmet)
Thoughts. Præsumere has this meaning. (Haydock)
Presumption is far removed from true wisdom. Solomon manifested his greatness of soul by his buildings, and wise regulations.
