Ecclesiastes 9:13 in Context — Ecclesiastes 9
11 Tornéme, y vi debajo del sol, que ni es de los ligeros la carrera, ni la guerra de los fuertes, ni aun de los sabios el pan, ni de los prudentes las riquezas, ni de los elocuentes el favor; sino que tiempo y ocasión acontece á todos.
12 Porque el hombre tampoco conoce su tiempo: como los peces que son presos en la mala red, y como las aves que se prenden en lazo, así son enlazados los hijos de los hombres en el tiempo malo, cuando cae de repente sobre ellos.
13 También vi esta sabiduría debajo del sol, la cual me parece grande:
14 Una pequeña ciudad, y pocos hombres en ella; y viene contra ella un gran rey, y cércala, y edifica contra ella grandes baluartes:
15 Y hállase en ella un hombre pobre, sabio, el cual libra la ciudad con su sabiduría; y nadie se acordaba de aquel pobre hombre.
