Ecclesiastes 9:17
Thomson 1808
The words of wise men in a time of rest are more minded than the shout of men exercising authority in the bustles of folly. Wisdom is better than implements of war. One sinner indeed will destroy much good.
Brenton 1851
The words of the wise are heard in quiet more than the cry of them that rule in folly.
Greek · Brenton
Λόγοι σοφῶν ἐν ἀναπαύσει ἀκούονται ὑπὲρ κραυγὴν ἐξουσιάζόντων ἐν ἀφροσύναις.
