Ecclesiastes 9:15-17

Holman 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.”
