Ecclesiastes 9:14-16

21st Century King James Version

¹⁴ There was a little city and few men within it. And there came a great king against it, and besieged it and built great bulwarks against it.

¹⁵ Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

¹⁶ Then said I, “Wisdom is better than strength”; nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
