15 But a poor, wise man was found there, and he himself in his wisdom delivered the city, but no one remembered that poor man.
16 Then I said, “Wisdom is better than strength; yet the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.”
17 The words of the wise heard in quietness are betterthan the shouting of a ruler among fools.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war,but only one sinner can destroy much that is good.
