Ecclesiastes 8:10

Contradictions to the Law of Retribution

Ecclesiastes 9:14-15

9:14 There was once a small city with a few men in it,

and a mighty king attacked it, besieging it and building strong siege works against it.

and he could have delivered the city by his wisdom,

but no one listened to that poor man.
