Ecclesiastes 9:17


Ecclesiastes 9:16 Ecclesiastes 9:17 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 9:18
Then said I, Wisdom [is] better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom [is] despised, and his words are not heard.
The words of wise [men are] heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
Wisdom [is] better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
