Ecclesiastes 9:13-15

Contemporary English Version

Better To Be Wise than Foolish

¹³ Once I saw what people really think of wisdom, and it made an impression on me. ¹⁴ It happened when a powerful ruler surrounded and attacked a small city where only a few people lived. The enemy army was getting ready to break through the city walls. ¹⁵ But the city was saved by the wisdom of a poor person who was soon forgotten.
