Ecclesiastes 9 · Grade 2
A Poor Wise Man
Read the Story
The Preacher said, Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might. We should do our best in all our work.
He told a story. There was a little city, and few men within it. A great king came to attack it.
A poor wise man saved the city by his wisdom. But no one remembered him. Still, wisdom is better than weapons of war.
Memory Verse
