Ecclesiastes 9:14

Wycliffe WYC

14 A little city, and few men therein; a great king came against it, and compassed it with pales, and he builded strongholds, either engines, by compass; and [the] besieging was made perfect. (There was a small city, with only a few people in it; a great king came against it, and surrounded it with posts, and he built strongholds, or bulwarks, all around it; and so the siege was made perfect.)

New International Version NIV

14 There was once a small city with only a few people in it. And a powerful king came against it, surrounded it and built huge siege works against it.
