Ecclesiastes 9:13-18

13I have also seenH7200 wisdomH2451 underH8478 the sunH8121 on this wiseH2451, and it seemedH7200 greatH1419 unto meH413: 14There was a littleH4592 cityH5892, and fewH4592 menH376 withinH5921 it; and there cameH935 a greatH1419 kingH4428 againstH5921 it, and besieged it, and builtH1129 greatH1419 bulwarks againstH5921 it: 15NowH120 there was foundH4672 in it a poorH4542 wiseH2450 manH376, and he by his wisdomH2451 deliveredH4422 the cityH5892; yet noH3808 manH376 rememberedH2142 that sameH1931 poorH4542 manH376. 16Then saidH559 I, WisdomH2451 is betterH2896 thanH2896 strengthH1369: nevertheless the poorH4542 man’s wisdomH2451 is despisedH959, and his wordsH1697 are notH369 heardH8085. 17The wordsH1697 of the wiseH2450 spokenH1697 in quiet are heardH8085 more than the cryH2201 of him that ruleth among foolsH3684. 18WisdomH2451 is betterH2896 thanH2896 weaponsH3627 of warH7128: but one sinnerH2398 destroyeth muchH7235 goodH2896.
