Ecclesiastes 9:13-16

13I have also seen this example of wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great to me. 14There was a little city with few men in it, and a great king came against it and besieged it, building great siegeworks against it. 15But there was found in it aa poor, wise man, and he by his bwisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that poor man. 16But I say that cwisdom is better than might, though dthe poor man’s wisdom is despised and his words are not heard.
