Ecclesiastes 9:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible

16 So I realized that wisdom is better than power. But if you are poor, nobody accepts that you are also wise. People soon forget what you said.

17 A wise person speaks quietly.
    But it is good to listen carefully to him.
His words have more value than a king
    who is shouting to a crowd of fools.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons that are used to fight a war.
But one bad person can destroy many good things.
