Ecclesiastes 7:19

New Century Version

Wisdom makes a person stronger than ten leaders in a city.

See the chapter Copy

A wise person can defeat a city full of warriors and tear down the defenses they trust in.

Wise people have great power, and those with knowledge have great strength.

I have good sense and advice, and I have understanding and power.

A poor but wise boy is better than a foolish but old king who doesn’t listen to advice.

Wisdom is like money: they both help. But wisdom is better, because it can save whoever has it.
