Ecclesiastes 9:11-12

New International Version

The race is not to the swift
    or the battle to the strong,^(A)
nor does food come to the wise^(B)
    or wealth to the brilliant
    or favor to the learned;
but time and chance^(C) happen to them all.^(D)

As fish are caught in a cruel net,
    or birds are taken in a snare,
so people are trapped by evil times^(E)
    that fall unexpectedly upon them.^(F)
