Ecclesiastes 9:10-12
English Standard Version Anglicised
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, (A)do it with your might,[a] (B)for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.
Wisdom Better than Folly
11 (C)Again I saw that under the sun (D)the race is not to the swift, nor (E)the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favour to those with knowledge, but time and (F)chance (G)happen to them all. 12 For man (H)does not know his time. Like fish that are taken in an evil net, and (I)like birds that are caught in a snare, so the children of man are (J)snared at an evil time, when it suddenly falls upon them.
