Ecclesiastes 9:14-16

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁴ There was a little city with few men in it. And a great king came against it and besieged it and built great bulwarks against it.

¹⁵ But there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no man [seriously] remembered that poor man.

¹⁶ But I say that wisdom is better than might, though the poor man’s wisdom is despised and his words are not heeded.
