Ecclesiastes 9:13-16
13 This [illustration of] wisdom I have also seen under the sun, and great it was to me:
14 There was a little city with few men in it and a great king came against it and besieged it and built great battlements against it.
15 But there was found in it a poor wise man, and by his wisdom he rescued the city. Yet no man [seriously] remembered that poor man.
16 But I say that wisdom is better than strength, though the poor man’s wisdom is despised and his words are not heeded.
