Ecclesiastes 9:15-17

¹⁵But there was found in it a poor wise man, and he delivered the city by his wisdom; yet no man had thought of that same poor man.

¹⁶Then said I, Wisdom is better than might: although the poor man's wisdom is held in contempt, and his words are not heard.

¹⁷The words of wise men heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
