And I did not believe the words until I came and my eyes saw, and behold, it was not told to me; you have added wisdom and goodness to the report that I heard.

but I gave no credit to the words, until I came and mine eyes had seen; and behold, the half was not told me: in wisdom and prosperity thou exceedest the report that I heard.
