Ecclesiastes 9:15-18

LITV(i) 15 And there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom saved the city. Yet no man remembered that poor man! 16 And I said, Wisdom is better than strength; but the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. 17 The words of wise men are heard in quiet, more than the cry of one who rules among fools. 18 Wisdom is better than weapons of conflict; but one sinner destroys much good.
