Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

9:13-18 This poor man’s particular wise action was effective. Wisdom is better than power, strength, or weapons (see 4:13; 7:9, 19; 10:4), yet the worthy are not always honored, and even the wise are forgotten (see 2:16; 4:16).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) in the city was found a poor, wise man

(Some words not found in UHB: and,found in/on/at/with,it (a)_man poor wise and,delivered he/it DOM the=city in/on/at/with,wisdom,his and=human/ʼĀdām not remembered DOM the=man the,poor the,that )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “in the city, people found a poor, wise man” or “a poor, wise man lived in the city” (See also: figs-idiom)
