Ecclesiastes 9:15-17

Darby Translation

¹⁵ and there was found in it a poor wise man, who by his wisdom delivered the city; but no man remembered that poor man.

¹⁶ Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength; but the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

¹⁷ The words of the wise are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
