Ecclesiastes 9:12

← Ecclesiastes 9:11 Ecclesiastes 9:12 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 9:13 →
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
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.
This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it [seemed] great unto me:
