Ecclesiastes 9:14-16

English Standard Version Anglicised

¹⁴ There was a little city with few men in it, and a great king came against it and besieged it, building great siege works against it. ¹⁵ But there was found in it ^(A)a poor, wise man, and he by his ^(B)wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that poor man. ¹⁶ But I say that ^(C)wisdom is better than might, though ^(D)the poor man's wisdom is despised and his words are not heard.
