Ecclesiastes 9:16 YLT

¹⁴  A little city, and few men in it, and a great king hath come unto it, and hath surrounded it, and hath built against it great bulwarks;

¹⁵  and there hath been found in it a poor wise man, and he hath delivered the city by his wisdom, and men have not remembered that poor man!

¹⁶  And I said, 'Better 'is' wisdom than might, and the wisdom of the poor is despised, and his words are not heard.' --

¹⁷  The words of the wise in quiet are heard, More than the cry of a ruler over fools.

¹⁸  Better 'is' wisdom than weapons of conflict, And one sinner destroyeth much good!
