Ecce 9:11
I returned, and saw under the sun
That the race is not to the swift
Nor battles to the strong
Nor bread to the wise
Nor riches to men of understanding
Nor favour to men of skill
But time and chance happen to them all
For man also does not know their time
Like fish taken in a cruel net
Like birds caught in a snare
So the sons of men are snared in an evil time
When it falls suddenly upon them
This wisdom i have also seen under the sun
And it seemed great to me
That the race is not to the swift
Nor battles to the strong
Nor bread to the wise
Nor riches to men of understanding
Nor favour to men of skill
But time and chance happen to them all
For man also does not know their time
Like fish taken in a cruel net
Like birds caught in a snare
So the sons of men are snared in an evil time
When it falls suddenly upon them
This wisdom i have also seen under the sun
And it seemed great to me
