Proverbs 21:22

New King James Version

²²A ^(A)wise man ^[a]scales the city of the mighty,
And brings down the trusted stronghold.

Proverbs 21:22

New International Version

²²One who is wise can go up against the city of the mighty^(A)
and pull down the stronghold in which they trust.

¹⁶Then I said:

“Wisdom is better than ^(A)strength.
Nevertheless ^(B)the poor man’s wisdom is despised,
And his words are not heard.

¹⁶So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” But the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded.^(A)
