ગુજરાતી — સભાશિક્ષક ૯:૧૬: ત્યારે મેં કહ્યું કે, બળ કરતાં બુદ્ધિ ઉત્તમ છે, તેમ છતાં ગરીબ માણસની બુદ્ધિને તુચ્છ ગણવામાં આવે છે, અને તેનું કહેવું કોઈ સાંભળતું નથી.
हिन्दी — सभोपदेशक ९:१६: तब मैंने कहा, “यद्यपि दरिद्र की बुद्धि तुच्छ समझी जाती है और उसका वचन कोई नहीं सुनता तो भी पराक्रम से बुद्धि उत्तम है।”

14There was a little city, and few men within it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it.

15Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

16Then I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

17The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools.

18Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroys much good.
