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


In Context

15 and there hath been found in it a poor wise man, and he hath delivered the city by his wisdom, and men have not remembered that poor man!

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!
