Ecclesiastes 9:10-12

Tree of Life Version

¹¹ I further observed under the sun:
The race is not to the swift
    nor the battle to the mighty,
nor does bread come to the wise,
    or wealth to the discerning,
    or favor to the skillful;
for time and chance befall them all.
¹² Moreover, no man knows his time:
like fish caught in a fatal net
    or birds caught in a snare,
so people are trapped in a time of calamity,
    that falls upon them suddenly.
