Ecclesiastes 7:19

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Wisdom will make you stronger than the ten most powerful leaders in your city.

See the chapter Copy

One wise person can defeat a city full of soldiers and capture their fortress.

Wisdom brings strength, and knowledge gives power.

I am strong, and I offer sensible advice and sound judgment.

You may be poor and young. But if you are wise, you are better off than a foolish old king who won't listen to advice.

Wisdom will protect you just like money; knowledge with good sense will lead you to life.
