Ecclesiastes 9:15 in Context — Ecclesiastes 9
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.
16 Entonces dije yo: Mejor es la sabiduría que la fortaleza; aunque la ciencia del pobre sea menospreciada, y no sean escuchadas sus palabras.
17 Las palabras del sabio con reposo son oídas, más que el clamor del señor entre los necios.
