Ecclesiastes 7:19

Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

Wisdom hath strengthened a wise man, over ten princes of a city.

See the chapter Copy

A wise man ascended into the city of strong men, and destroyed the strength of [the] trust thereof.

A wise man is strong, and a learned man is stalworth[y] and mighty.

Counsel is mine, and equity; prudence is mine, and strength.

A poor man and wise is better than an eld [or old] king and foolish, that cannot before-see into time to coming [or after].

For as wisdom defendeth, so money defendeth; but learning and wisdom have this moreover, that those give life to them that have them.
