Ecclesiastes 9:14-16 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

14. A little city, and few men in it, and a great sovereign came against it, and besieged it, and built huge siege-works against it.

15. And there was found in it a poor wise man, and by his wisdom he delivered the city, yet no one remembered that poor man.

16. And I said, “Wisdom is better than might. But the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heard.”
