Pengkhotbah 7:19

Wisdom Needed Because No One is Truly Righteous

7:19 Wisdom gives a wise person more protection ¹ 

than ten rulers in a city.

Pengkhotbah 9:13

Most People Are Not Receptive to Wise Counsel

9:13 This is what I also observed about wisdom on earth, ² 

and it is a great burden ³  to me:

[7:19]  ¹ tn Heb “gives strength.”

[9:13]  ² tn Heb “under the sun.”

[9:13]  ³ tn The term “burden” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity.
