Ecclesiastes 9:10-12

Legacy Standard Bible

Whatever Your Hand Finds to Do

¹⁰ Whatever your hand finds to do, ^(A)do it with all your might; for there is no ^(B)working or explaining or knowledge or wisdom in ^(C)Sheol where you are going.

¹¹ I again saw under the sun that the ^(D)race is not to the swift and the ^(E)battle is not to the mighty, and neither is bread to the wise nor ^(F)riches to the discerning nor favor to men who know; for time and ^(G)misfortune overtake them all. ¹² Moreover, man does not ^(H)know his time: like fish seized in an evil net and ^(I)birds seized in a trap, so the sons of men are ^(J)ensnared at an evil time when it ^(K)suddenly falls on them.
