I’ve always kind of like this one. It has a bit ive seen messed with though. Some people seem to believe that winning souls indicates or worse creates wisdom, so the attempt is to win souls by whatever means. Really abusive cult type groups like to use this one to increase their ranks.

It can also be taken in the opposite way though: by achieving wisdom one tends to win souls. “Walk the walk” so to speak. This is the one I have always thought is what was meant. Language in translation has problems and ancient Hebrew was always a bit variably vague. Even English can be so and it has multiple times the number of words ancient Hebrew did.

Matthew 5:3-6
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12

Psalm 112:4-6
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
