Even this, had I seen of wisdom, under the sun, - and, of great import, was the same unto me: -

A little city, and men therein few, - and there came against it a great king, and surrounded it, and built against it large siege-works;

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.

Then said, I, Better is wisdom than strength, - although, the wisdom of the poor man, be despised, and, his words, not heard.

The words of the wise, in quietness, are heard, - beyond the outcry of one who ruleth over dullards.

Better is wisdom, than weapons of war, - but, one sinner, may destroy much good.
