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.
So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” But the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded.Ecclesiastes 9:16 NIV
There was once a small city with only a few people in it. And a powerful king came against it, surrounded it and built huge siege works against it.Ecclesiastes 9:14 NIV
