Ecclesiastes 9:15-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
15
But there was found in it a poor wise man, and he saved the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man.
16
So I said, 'Wisdom is better than strength.' But the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are ignored.
King James Version
Chapter 9
15
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.
16
Then said I, Wisdom
is
better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom
is
despised, and his words are not heard.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
15
Now a poor wise man was found in the city, and he delivered the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man.
16
And I said, "Wisdom is better than strength, but the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heeded."
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
15
A poor, wise man knew how to save the town, and so it was rescued. But afterward no one thought to thank him.
16
So even though wisdom is better than strength, those who are wise will be despised if they are poor. What they say will not be appreciated for long.
English Standard Version

Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom
is
despised,
And his words are not heard.
