JPS_ASV_Byz(i)
15 now there was found in it a man poor and wise, 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.'
17 The words of the wise spoken in quiet are more acceptable than the cry of a ruler among fools.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroyeth much good.
