Ecclesiastes 9:15-17

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁵ And there was found in the city a poor and wise man. And he delivered the city by his wisdom. But no one remembered this poor man.

¹⁶ Then I said, “Better is wisdom than strength.” Yet the wisdom of the poor is despised. And his words are not heard.

¹⁷ The words of the wise are more heard in quietness than the cry of him who rules among fools.
