Ecclesiastes 9:15-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁵ A poor, wise person was found in that town. He saved the town using his wisdom. But no one remembered that poor person. ¹⁶ So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength,” even though that poor person’s wisdom was despised, and no one listened to what he said.

¹⁷ One should pay more attention to calm words from wise people than shouting from a ruler of fools.
