Ecclesiastes 7:12

For ^awisdom is a ^bshadow of protection as money is a shadow of protection,

And the advantage of knowledge is that ^cwisdom preserves the lives of its masters.

Ecclesiastes 9:13-18

13 Also this I came to see as wisdom under the sun, and ¹it was great to me. 14 There ^awas a small city with few men in it, and a great king came to it, surrounded it, and built large siegeworks against it. 15 But there was found in it a ^apoor wise man, and he provided a way of escape for the city ^bby his wisdom. Yet ^cno one remembered that poor man. 16 So I said, “^aWisdom is better than strength.” But the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heard. 17 The ^awords of the wise heard in restfulness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools. 18 ^aWisdom is better than weapons of war, but ^bone sinner destroys much good.

Proverbs 21:22

« Prov 20Prov 21Prov 22 »

A ^awise man goes up to the city of the mighty

And brings down the ¹stronghold in which they trust.

Proverbs 24:5

« Prov 23Prov 24Prov 25 »

A ^awise man is ¹strong,

And a man of knowledge strengthens his power.
