Ecclesiastes 7:19

"Wisdom strengthens. wise man more than ten rulers who are in. city."

Which should remind us that character does matter! And that wisdom is often more beneficial and effective than brute force. Wisdom, especially wisdom from God can give you better counsel than 10 kings or 10 prudent statesmen. Wisdom is. better companion and offers greater benefits than ten of the finest rulers chosen from the major population center in the land. The united combined strength of human wisdom sources cannot equal the wisdom found in the fear of the Lord (Ecclesiastes 7:18). Compare with Psalms 119:99. The wisdom found in the Scriptures far outstrips the combined literary efforts of every secular writer who has lived since the dawn of time.
