Ecclesiastes 7:19

“Counsel is mine and sound wisdom; I am understanding, might is mine.

A wise man goes up to the city of the mighty And brings down the stronghold in which they trust.

And I saw that there is an advantage in wisdom over simpleminded folly as light has an advantage over darkness.

A poor yet wise lad is better than an old and foolish king who no longer knows how to receive warning.

For wisdom is a shadow of protection as money is a shadow of protection, And the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the lives of its masters.

So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” But the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heard.
