'Words of the Wise' in the Bible

To get the sense of wise sayings and secrets, and of the words of the wise and their dark sayings.

The words of the wise which come quietly to the ear are noted more than the cry of a ruler among the foolish.

The words of the wise are pointed, and sayings grouped together are like nails fixed with a hammer; they are given by one guide.
