13 This wisdom I also saw under the sun - great to me:
14 a little city and few men within; and a great sovereign came against it and surrounded it and built great lairs against it:
15 and within they found a poor wise man; and by his wisdom he rescued the city; yet no human remembered that same poor man.
16 Then I said, Better wisdom than might; the wisdom of the poor is despised and his words not heard.
17 The words of the wise are heard in rest more than the cry of him who reigns among fools.
18 Better wisdom than instruments of war; one sinner destroys abounding good.
