Ecclesiastes 9:14-16

14There was a small city with few men in it. A great king came against it, surrounded it, and built large siege works against it.

15Now a poor wise man was found in the city, and he delivered the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man.

16And I said, “Wisdom is better than strength, but the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heeded.”
