⁵ A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

¹⁹ Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.

¹¹ Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

²² A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

³¹ But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

¹⁴ There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:

¹⁵ Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

¹⁶ Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

¹⁷ The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.

¹⁸ Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.

²⁹ The way of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

¹⁴ Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

⁷ They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
