Ecclesiastes 9:12-18

For man
<0120>
also knoweth
<03045> (8799)
not his time
<06256>_:
as the fishes
<01709>
that are taken
<0270> (8737)
in an evil
<07451>
net
<04685>_,
and as the birds
<06833>
that are caught
<0270> (8803)
in the snare
<06341>_;
so
<01992>
[are] the sons
<01121>
of men
<0120>
snared
<03369> (8795)
in an evil
<07451>
time
<06256>_,
when it falleth
<05307> (8799)
suddenly
<06597>
upon them.
This
<02090>
wisdom
<02451>
have I seen
<07200> (8804)
also under the sun
<08121>_,
and it [seemed] great
<01419>
unto me:
[There was] a little
<06996>
city
<05892>_,
and few
<04592>
men
<0582>
within it; and there came
<0935> (8804)
a great
<01419>
king
<04428>
against it, and besieged
<05437> (8804)
it, and built
<01129> (8804)
great
<01419>
bulwarks
<04685>
against it:
Now there was found
<04672> (8804)
in it a poor
<04542>
wise
<02450>
man
<0376>_,
and he by his wisdom
<02451>
delivered
<04422> (8765)
the city
<05892>_;
yet no man
<0120>
remembered
<02142> (8804)
that same poor
<04542>
man
<0376>_.
Then said
<0559> (8804)
I, Wisdom
<02451>
[is] better
<02896>
than strength
<01369>_:
nevertheless the poor man's
<04542>
wisdom
<02451>
[is] despised
<0959> (8803)_,
and his words
<01697>
are not heard
<08085> (8737)_.
The words
<01697>
of wise
<02450>
[men are] heard
<08085> (8737)
in quiet
<05183>
more than the cry
<02201>
of him that ruleth
<04910> (8802)
among fools
<03684>_.
Wisdom
<02451>
[is] better
<02896>
than weapons
<03627>
of war
<07128>_:
but one
<0259>
sinner
<02398> (8802)
destroyeth
<06> (8762)
much
<07235> (8687)
good
<02896>_.
