Ecclesiastes 9:13-18
Read Ecclesiastes 9 in full →13Also this I came to see as wisdom under the sun, and 1it was great to me. 14There awas a small city with few men in it, and a great king came to it, surrounded it, and built large siegeworks against it. 15But there was found in it a apoor wise man, and he provided a way of escape for the city bby his wisdom. Yet cno one remembered that poor man. 16So I said, “aWisdom is better than strength.” But the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heard. 17The awords of the wise heard in restfulness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools. 18aWisdom is better than weapons of war, but bone sinner destroys much good.
