H559Then said[H8804] H2451I, WisdomH2896is betterH1369than strengthH4542: nevertheless the poor man'sH2451wisdomH959is despised[H8803] H1697, and his wordsH8085are not heard[H8737] .
H2451WisdomH5810strengtheneth[H8799] H2450the wiseH6235more than tenH7989mightyH5892men which are in the city.
H2450A wiseH1397manH5797is strongH376; yea, a manH1847of knowledgeH553increaseth[H8764] H3581strength.
H2450A wiseH5927man scaleth[H8804] H5892the cityH1368of the mightyH3381, and casteth down[H8686] H5797the strengthH4009of the confidence thereof.
H2451WisdomH2896is betterH3627than weaponsH7128of warH259: but oneH2398sinner[H8802] H6destroyeth[H8762] H7235much[H8687] H2896good.
H6223The rich man'sH1952wealthH5797is his strongH7151cityH4288: the destructionH1800of the poorH7389is their poverty.
H6098CounselH8454is mine, and sound wisdomH998: I am understandingH1369; I have strength.
H2451For wisdomH6738is a defenceH3701, and moneyH6738is a defenceH3504: but the excellencyH1847of knowledgeH2451is, that wisdomH2421giveth life[H8762] H1167to them that have it.
H1270If the ironH6949be blunt[H8765] H7043, and he do not whet[H8773] H6440the edgeH1396, then must he put[H8762] H2428to more strengthH2451: but wisdomH3504is profitableH3787to direct[H8687] .
