Ecclesiastes 9:14-16

¹⁴suppose there were a little city, and few men in it; and there should come against it a great king, and surround it, and build great mounds against it;

¹⁵and should find in it a poor wise man, and he should save the city through his wisdom: yet no man would remember that poor man.

¹⁶And I said Wisdom is better than power: yet the wisdom of the poor man is set at nothing, and his words not listened to.
