Ecclesiastes 9:14 · Berean Standard Bible
There was a small city with few men. A mighty king came against it, surrounded it, and built large siege ramps against it.
Context
12Zaidi ya hayo, hakuna mwanadamu ajuaye wakati saa yake itakapokuja:
Kama vile samaki wavuliwavyo katika wavu mkatili,
au ndege wanaswavyo kwenye mtego,
vivyo hivyo wanadamu hunaswa na nyakati mbaya
zinazowaangukia bila kutazamia. 13Pia niliona chini ya jua mfano huu wa hekima ambao ulinivutia sana: 14Palikuwa na mji mdogo uliokuwa na watu wachache ndani yake. Mfalme mwenye nguvu akainuka dhidi yake, akauzunguka akaweka jeshi kubwa dhidi yake. 15Katika mji huo kulikuwepo mtu mmoja maskini lakini mwenye hekima, naye akauokoa ule mji kwa hekima yake. Lakini hakuna aliyemkumbuka yule maskini. 16Kwa hiyo, nikasema, “Hekima ni bora kuliko nguvu.” Lakini hekima ya maskini imedharauliwa, wala hakuna anayesikiliza maneno yake.
