9:12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

 9:13 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:

 9:14 There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:

 9:15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

 9:16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
