Ecclesiastes 9:15-18

Rotherham(i) 15 but there was found therein, a man, poor [but] wise, and, he, delivered the city by his wisdom,––yet, no one, remembered that poor man. 16 Then said, I, Better is wisdom than strength,––although, the wisdom of the poor man, be despised, and, his words, not heard. 17 The words of the wise, in quietness, are heard,––beyond the outcry of one who ruleth over dullards. 18 Better is wisdom, than weapons of war,––but, one sinner, may destroy much good.
