Ecclesiastes 7:19

Modern King James Version

Wisdom makes the wise stronger than ten mighty ones who are in the city.

See the chapter Copy

A wise one scales the city of the mighty and brings down the strength of its hope.

A wise man is strong; yes, a man of knowledge increases strength.

Counsel and sound wisdom are mine; I am understanding; I have strength.

A poor and a wise child is better than an old and foolish king, who will not be warned any more.

For wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.
