This wisedome haue I seene also vnder the Sunne, and it seemed great vnto me:

There was a little citie, and few men within it; and there came a great King against it, and besieged it, & built great bulwarks against it:

Now there was found in it a poore wise man, and hee by his wisedome deliuered the citie; yet no man remembred that same poore man.

Then said I, Wisedome is better then strength: neuerthelesse, the poore mans wisedome is despised, and his words are not heard.

The words of wise men are heard in quiet, more then the cry of him that ruleth among fooles.

Wisedome is better then weapons of warre: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
