Ecclesiastes 9:18 YLT

¹⁶  And I said, 'Better 'is' wisdom than might, and the wisdom of the poor is despised, and his words are not heard.' --

¹⁷  The words of the wise in quiet are heard, More than the cry of a ruler over fools.

¹⁸  Better 'is' wisdom than weapons of conflict, And one sinner destroyeth much good!
