Ecclesiastes 7:19

New King James Version

¹⁹^(A)Wisdom strengthens the wise
More than ten rulers of the city.

Ecclesiastes 7:19

New International Version

¹⁹Wisdom^(A) makes one wise person more powerful^(B)
than ten rulers in a city.

¹⁶Then I said:

“Wisdom is better than ^(A)strength.
Nevertheless ^(B)the poor man’s wisdom is despised,
And his words are not heard.

¹⁶So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” But the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded.^(A)
