Ecclesiastes 9:13-16 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

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.

16. Then I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
