Ecclesiastes 9:14-18
New Living Translation
14 There was a small town with only a few people, and a great king came with his army and besieged it. 15 A poor, wise man knew how to save the town, and so it was rescued. But afterward no one thought to thank him. 16 So even though wisdom is better than strength, those who are wise will be despised if they are poor. What they say will not be appreciated for long.
17 Better to hear the quiet words of a wise person
than the shouts of a foolish king.
18 Better to have wisdom than weapons of war,
but one sinner can destroy much that is good.
Proverbs 10:29

29 The way of the Lord is a stronghold to those with integrity,
but it destroys the wicked.

and each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem.[a]
