Ecclesiastes 9:16-18

Amplified Bible

¹⁶ But I say that wisdom is better than strength, though the poor man’s wisdom is despised and his words are not heeded. ¹⁷ The words of wise men heard in quietness are better than the shouting of one who rules among fools. ¹⁸ Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
