Ecclesiastes 9:15-17

1599 Geneva Bible

¹⁵ And there was found therein a poor and wise man, and he delivered the city by his wisdom, but none remembered this poor man.

¹⁶ Then said I, Better is wisdom than strength: yet the wisdom of the poor is despised, and his words are not heard.

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