Ecclesiastes 9:10-12
New American 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)activity, planning, 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 warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor (F)wealth to the discerning, nor favor to the skillful; for time and (G)chance overtake them all. 12 For indeed, a person does not (H)know his time: like fish that are caught in a treacherous net and (I)birds caught in a snare, so the sons of mankind are (J)ensnared at an evil time when it (K)suddenly falls on them.

The race is not to the swift
or the battle to the strong,(E)
nor does food come to the wise(F)
or wealth to the brilliant
or favor to the learned;
but time and chance(G) happen to them all.(H)
12 Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come:
