As I've always said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” Yet the wisdom of that poor man was dismissed—people didn't pay attention to what he said.Pro 21:22; Pro 24:5
So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” But the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded.
OJBThen said I, Chochmah is better than gevurah (strength); nevertheless the poor manʼs chochmah is despised, and his devarim are not heard.
T4TSo I realized that although being wise is better than being strong, if you are poor, no one will appreciate what you do, and people will soon forget what you said.
