Ecclesiastes 9:17 DBY

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.

¹⁸  Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroyeth much good.
