Verse 15 of 18
Commentary
Commentary on Ecclesiastes 9:15
Theological / DevotionalWas found. Literally, “he found,” probably referring to the ruler of the city.
A poor wise man. Literally, “a man, a poor, wise one.”
Delivered. Compare 2 Sam. 20:13-22, where a city was saved by a wise woman.
No man remembered. When the crisis was past, the deliverer was ignored and forgotten. Compare Joseph’s experience (Gen. 40:23). Public acclaim is fickle and unreliable. This poor wise man was allowed to sink back into obscurity.
