⁵ A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth might,

²² A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, And bringeth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

¹⁹ Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers that are in a city.

¹¹ strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy;

⁷ They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

¹⁴ Counsel is mine, and sound knowledge: I am understanding; I have might.

²⁹ The way of Jehovah is a stronghold to the upright; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

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 the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.

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

³¹ but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
