Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers that are in a city.
A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty,\par\tab And bringeth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
A wise man is strong;\par\tab Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth might.
Counsel is mine, and sound knowledge:\par\tab I am understanding; I have might.
Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more.
For wisdom is a defence, even as money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserveth the life of him that hath it.
