Ecclesiastes 9:15-17

Amplified Bible

¹⁵ But there was found in it a poor wise man, and by his wisdom he rescued the city. Yet no man [seriously] remembered that poor man. ¹⁶ But I say that wisdom is better than strength, though the poor man’s wisdom is despised and his words are not heeded. ¹⁷ The words of wise men heard in quietness are better than the shouting of one who rules among fools.
