Ecclesiastes 9:11-13
Legacy Standard Bible
11 I again saw under the sun that the (A)race is not to the swift and the (B)battle is not to the mighty, and neither is bread to the wise nor (C)riches to the discerning nor favor to men who know; for time and (D)misfortune overtake them all. 12 Moreover, man does not (E)know his time: like fish seized in an evil net and (F)birds seized in a trap, so the sons of men are (G)ensnared at an evil time when it (H)suddenly falls on them.
13 Also this I came to see as wisdom under the sun, and [a]it was great to me.
