Ecclesiastes 9:15-18
-
15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
-
16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom 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 ruleth among fools.
-
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
