Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
Entonces dije: 'La sabiduría es mejor que la fuerza, pero cuando una persona pobre es sabia, la gente menosprecia su sabiduría y no escucha lo que dice.'
La sabiduría vale más que la fuerza, pero lamentablemente la sabiduría de los pobres es despreciada e ignorada.
📚 Contexto Histórico
Ecclesiastes is a book in the Bible traditionally attributed to King Solomon, who was renowned for his wisdom and served as king of Israel during a time of peace and prosperity. In this chapter, the author reflects on the fleeting nature of life and contrasts the benefits of wisdom with physical might, drawing from observations of social inequalities in ancient Near Eastern societies. However, the verse highlights a common human tendency to overlook wise counsel from those of lower social standing, such as the poor, which was prevalent in a culture that valued wealth and status.
