Ecclesiastes 9:15-17
Christian Standard Bible
15 Now a poor wise man was found in the city,(A) and he delivered the city by his wisdom.(B) Yet no one remembered that poor man. 16 And I said, “Wisdom is better than strength,(C) but the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heeded.”
17 The calm words of the wise are heeded
more than the shouts of a ruler over fools.

17 宁可在安静之中听智慧人的言语,不听掌管愚昧人的喊声。
