There Was a Little City...

"There was a little city, and few men within 

it; and there came a great king against it, 

and besieged it, and built great bulwarks 

against it: 

Now there was found in it a poor wise man, 

and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet 

no man remembered that same poor man.

Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: 

nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is 

despised, and his words are not heard.

The words of wise men are heard in quiet 

more than the cry of him that ruleth among 

fools.

Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but 

one sinner destroyeth much good. 

(Ecclesiatstes 9:14-18) (The Holy Bible, King 

James Version)
