Proverbs 24:5
A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
In context
2 For their heart studieth destruction, And their lips talk of mischief. 3 Through wisdom is an house builded; And by understanding it is established: 4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled With all precious and pleasant riches.
5 A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. 6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: And in multitude of counsellors there is safety. 7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: He openeth not his mouth in the gate. 8 He that deviseth to do evil Shall be called a mischievous person.
