For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:

Wisdom: Ecclesiastes 9:18, Ecclesiastes 7:19, Proverbs 21:22, Proverbs 24:5
the poor: Proverbs 10:15, Mark 6:2, Mark 6:3, John 7:47-49, John 9:24-34, 1 Corinthians 1:26-29, James 2:2-6
