Ecclesiastes 9:13-15 World English Bible (WEB)

13. I have also seen wisdom under the sun in this way, and it seemed great to me.

14. There was a little city, and few men within it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it.

15. Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
