Ecclesiastes 9:16-18

Ecclesiastes 9:16-18
Contemporary English Version
16 So I decided that wisdom is better than strength. Yet if you are poor, no one pays any attention to you, no matter how smart you are.
17 Words of wisdom spoken softly
make much more sense
than the shouts of a ruler
to a crowd of fools.
18 Wisdom is more powerful
than weapons,
yet one mistake can destroy
all the good you have done.
Contemporary English Version (CEV)
