Ecclesiastes 9:14-18

9:14

[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:

9:15

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>_.

9:16

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)_.

9:17

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>_.

9:18

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>_.
