Ecclesiastes 9:13-16 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

13. This wisdom also I have seen under the sun, and it seemed to me to be very great:

14. A little city, and few men in it: there came against it a great king, and invested it, and built bulwarks round about it, and the siege was perfect.

15. Now there was found in it a man poor and wise, and he delivered the city by his wisdom, and no man afterward remembered that poor man.

16. And I said that wisdom is better than strength: how then is the wisdom of the poor man slighted, and his words not heard?
