Ecclesiastes 9:15
| ← Ecclesiastes 9:14 | Ecclesiastes 9:15 (KJV) | Ecclesiastes 9:16 → |
|---|---|---|
[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.
