Ecclesiastes 9:14-16

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁴ A little city, and few men in it, and a great king hath come unto it, and hath surrounded it, and hath built against it great bulwarks;

¹⁵ and there hath been found in it a poor wise man, and he hath delivered the city by his wisdom, and men have not remembered that poor man!

¹⁶ And I said, `Better [is] wisdom than might, and the wisdom of the poor is despised, and his words are not heard.' --
