Ecclesiastes 9:15-17
Christian Standard Bible
15 Now a poor wise man was found in the city,(A) and he delivered the city by his wisdom.(B) Yet no one remembered that poor man. 16 And I said, “Wisdom is better than strength,(C) but the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heeded.”
17 The calm words of the wise are heeded
more than the shouts of a ruler over fools.
Ecclesiastes 9:15-17
World English Bible
15 Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. 16 Then I said, “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 heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools.

Nueva Biblia de las Américas
15 Pero en ella se hallaba un hombre pobre y sabio(A); y él con su sabiduría libró[a] la ciudad(B); sin embargo, nadie se acordó de aquel hombre pobre(C). 16 Y yo me dije:
«Mejor es la sabiduría que la fuerza(D)».
Pero la sabiduría del pobre se desprecia
Y no se presta atención a sus palabras.
17 Las palabras del sabio oídas en quietud son mejores
Que los gritos del gobernante entre los necios(E).
