Authorized King James Version
"Then said I, Wisdom [is] better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom [is] despised, and his words are not heard."
— Ecclesiastes 9:16, Authorized King James Version
¶ This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it [seemed] great unto me:
[There was] a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:
Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
Then said I, Wisdom [is] better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom [is] despised, and his words are not heard.
The words of wise [men are] heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
Wisdom [is] better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
