Ecclesiastes 9:13

Wisdom'Although Vulnerable'Is Superior To Power

¹² For even man knoweth not his time; as fish that are taken hold of by an evil net, and as birds that are taken hold of by a snare, like these are the sons of man snared at an evil time, when it falleth upon them suddenly. ¹³ This also I have seen: wisdom under the sun, and it is great to me. ¹⁴ A little city, and few men in it, and a great king hath come unto it, and hath surrounded it, and hath built against it great bulwarks;

On Earth

Under the Sun

Ecclesiastes 6:1

There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it is great on man:

Ecclesiastes 7:15

The whole I have considered in the days of my vanity. There is a righteous one perishing in his righteousness, and there is a wrong-doer prolonging himself in his wrong.

Ecclesiastes 8:16

When I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that hath been done on the earth, (for there is also a spectator in whose eyes sleep is not by day and by night),

Ecclesiastes 9:11

I have turned so as to see under the sun, that not to the swift is the race, nor to the mighty the battle, nor even to the wise bread, nor even to the intelligent wealth, nor even to the skilful grace, for time and chance happen with them all.
