CLV(i)
15 Now a man was available in it, provident and wise, And he would have provided escape for the city by his wisdom, Yet not one person remembered that provident man."
16 So I said, Better is wisdom than mastery, Yet the wisdom of a provident man is despised, And his words are no longer hearkened to."
17 The words of wise men, hearkened to in rest, Are better than the outcry of a ruler among the stupid."
