Wisdom strengthens the wise More than ten rulers of the city.
A wise man scales the city of the mighty, And brings down the trusted stronghold.
A wise man is strong, Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength;
Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, I have strength.
Better a poor and wise youth Than an old and foolish king who will be admonished no more.
For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.
