Ecclesiastes 7:19

19 aWisdom gives strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.

Ecclesiastes 9:14-18

14There was a little city with few men in it, and a great king came against it and besieged it, building great siegeworks against it. 15But there was found in it ba poor, wise man, and he by his cwisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that poor man. 16But I say that dwisdom is better than might, though ethe poor man’s wisdom is despised and his words are not heard.

17The words of the wise heard in fquiet are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools. 18 gWisdom is better than weapons of war, but hone sinner destroys much good.
