Kohelet 9:13-15

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹³ This chochmah have I seen also under the shemesh, and it seemed gedolah (great) unto me:

¹⁴ There was an ir ketanah (little city), and few men within it; and there came a melech gadol against it, and besieged it, and built metzorim gedolim (huge siegeworks) against it.

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