Ecclesiastes 9:15-17
Good News Translation
15 Someone lived there who was poor, but so clever that he could have saved the town. But no one thought about him.[a] 16 I have always said that wisdom is better than strength, but no one thinks of the poor as wise or pays any attention to what they say. 17 It is better to listen to the quiet words of someone wise than to the shouts of a ruler at a council of fools.
