14 A little city, and few men in it, and a great king hath come unto it, and hath surrounded it, and hath built against it great bulwarks; 15 and there hath been found in it a poor wise man, and he hath delivered the city by his wisdom, and men have not remembered that poor man! 16 And I said, 'Better is wisdom than might, and the wisdom of the poor is despised, and his words are not heard.' -- 17 The words of the wise in quiet are heard, More than the cry of a ruler over fools. 18 Better is wisdom than weapons of conflict, And one sinner destroyeth much good!
