Wisdom in the Ecclesiastes

My favourite verse in today's study is Ecclesiastes 9:16-18 "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."
Wisdom comes from the place of quietness, not from the place of shouting. Isn't that profound!
