Contextual Overview

¹¹ Wysdome with inheritaunce is good, yet better is it with them that without care may beholde the sunne: ¹² For wysdome defendeth aswell as money, and the excellent knowledge & wysdome geueth lyfe vnto hym that hath it in possession. ¹³ Consider the worke of God, how that no man can make the thing straight, whiche he maketh crooked. ¹⁴ Use well the tyme of prosperitie, and remember the tyme of misfortune: for God doth so temper the one and the other, that a man can finde nothing els. ¹⁵ All thinges haue I considered in the time of my vanitie: that the iust man perisheth for his righteousnesse sake, & the vngodly liueth in his wickednesse. ¹⁶ Therfore be thou neither to righteous nor ouer wyse, that thou perishe not. ¹⁷ Be neither to vnrighteous also nor to foolishe, lest thou die before thy time. ¹⁸ It is good for thee to take holde of this, and not to let that go out of thy hande: For he that feareth God, commeth foorth with them all. ¹⁹ Wysdome geueth more courage vnto the wyse, then ten mightie men of the citie. ²⁰ For there is not one iust vpon earth that doth good, and sinneth not.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Wisdom strengtheneth the wise,.... Against such extremes as before mentioned; it is a guard about him, as well as a guide unto him; it is a defence unto him, as before observed, Ecclesiastes 7:12; and is better than strength of body, or weapons of war, Ecclesiastes 9:16; and a wise man does greater things by it than a strong man with them, and is safer with it than he can be by them. Some understand this of Christ, the Wisdom of God, without whom a good man can do nothing, but all things through him strengthening him; and who being a strong tower and place of refuge to him, he is safer in him than if he was in the strongest garrison, and under the protection of ever so large a number of valiant men: Christ, and grace from him, strengthen

more than ten mighty [men] which are in the city; that is, than many mighty men, or men of war, which guard a city; the city of Jerusalem, or any other. The Targum applies this to Joseph, and paraphrases it,

"the wisdom of Joseph the son of Jacob helped him to make him wiser than all his ten righteous brethren.''

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 19. Wisdom strengtheneth the wise — One wise, thoroughly learned, and scientific man, may be of more use in fortifying and defending a city, than ten princes. Witness the case of Syracuse, when attacked by the Romans both by sea and land. Archimedes, by his engines, burnt and dashed their fleet to pieces, and destroyed all that came near the walls. And had not the city been betrayed, and he killed, all their force and skill could not have taken it.
