Ecclesiastes 9:15-17

ACV(i) 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 I said, Wisdom is better than strength. Nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. 17 The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools.
