Ecclesiastes 7:19

Bible in Basic English 1965

Wisdom makes a wise man stronger than ten rulers in a town.

See the chapter Copy

A wise man goes up into the town of the strong ones, and overcomes its strength in which they put their faith.

A wise man is strong; and a man of knowledge makes strength greater.

Wise design and good sense are mine; reason and strength are mine.

A young man who is poor and wise is better than a king who is old and foolish and will not be guided by the wisdom of others.

Wisdom keeps a man from danger even as money does; but the value of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to its owner.
