“The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.”
The additional assertion that wisdom is better than weapons of war consolidates the teaching of the small-city narrative. Yet the phrase "one sinner destroys much good," echoed from 9:18, complicates this teaching, reminding readers that wisdom's superiority does not guarantee triumph. This verse maintains realism about wisdom's limits.
