Ecclesiastes 9:16

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

And I said, Wisdom is good above strength: and the wisdom of the poor one was despised, and his words not heard.

See the chapter Copy

The wealth of the rich his strong city: the destruction of the poor their poverty.

The wise one ascended the city of the strong, and he will bring down the strength of its confidence.

A wise man is in strength, and a man of knowledge strengthens power.

To me counsel and wisdom: I am understanding; to me is strength.

If the iron became dull and he polished not the face, and he will strengthen the forces: and wisdom will make preeminence to prosper.

For in the shadow, wisdom; in the shadow, silver: and the excellence of knowledge is wisdom shall preserve alive those possessing it

Wisdom shall strengthen to the wise one more than ten having power which were in the city.

Wisdom is good above the instruments of encounter: and one sinning will destroy much good.
