15 Now there lived in that city a man poor but wise, and he saved the city by his wisdom. But nobody remembered that poor man.
16 So I said, ‘Wisdom is better than strength.’ But the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded.
17 The quiet words of the wise are more to be heededthan the shouts of a ruler of fools.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war,but one sinner destroys much good.
