Ecclesiastes 9:18
King James Version
“Wisdom better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.”
Context
15Now 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.
16Then said I, Wisdom better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom despised, and his words are not heard.
17The words of wise heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
18Wisdom better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
