Ecclesiastes 9:15-17

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁵ now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no one remembered that same poor man.

¹⁶ Then I said, Wisdom is better than strength: even though the poor man’s knowledge is despised, and his words are not heard.

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