The Parable of the Poor Wise Man

Ecclesiastes 9:13-16

This also I have seen: wisdom under the sun, and it is great to me.

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;

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!

And I said, `Better is wisdom than might, and the wisdom of the poor is despised, and his words are not heard.' --
