NASB
"The words of the wise heard in quietness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools."
— Ecclesiastes 9:17, NASB
“The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.”
“The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. ”
“The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools.”
“Wisdom versus Fools, Sin, and Folly The words of the wise are heard in quiet, more than the shouting of a ruler is heard among fools.”
“The words of the wise are heard in silence, more than the cry of a prince among fools.”
“The words of the wise which come quietly to the ear are noted more than the cry of a ruler among the foolish.”
“The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.”
There was a small city with few men in it and a great king came to it, surrounded it and constructed large siegeworks against it.
But there was found in it a poor wise man and he delivered the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man.
So I said, "Wisdom is better than strength." But the wisdom of the poor man is despised and his words are not heeded.
The words of the wise heard in quietness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools.
Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
