Ecclesiastes 9:16-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶ Then I said, Wisdom is better than strength: even though the poor man’s knowledge is despised, and his words are not heard.

¹⁷ The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that rules among fools.

¹⁸ Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
