strkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:11
@ I
returned
, and
saw
under the
sun
, that the
race
is not to the
swift
, nor the
battle
to the
strong
, neither yet
bread
to the
wise
, nor yet
riches
to men of
understanding
, nor yet
favour
to men of
skill
; but
time
and
chance
happeneth
to them all.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:12
@ For
man
also
knoweth
not his
time
: as the
fishes
that are
taken
in an
evil
net
, and as the
birds
that are
caught
in the
snare
;
so
are the
sons
of
men
snared
in an
evil
time
, when it
falleth
suddenly
upon them.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:13
@
This
wisdom
have I
seen
also under the
sun
, and it seemed
great
unto me:
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:14
@ There was a
little
city
, and
few
men
within it; and there
came
a
great
king
against it, and
besieged
it, and
built
great
bulwarks
against it:
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:15
@ Now there was
found
in it a
poor
wise
man
, and he by his
wisdom
delivered
the
city
; yet no
man
remembered
that same
poor
man
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:16
@ Then
said
I,
Wisdom
is
better
than
strength
: nevertheless the poor
mans
wisdom
is
despised
, and his
words
are not
heard
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:17
@ The
words
of
wise
men are
heard
in
quiet
more than the
cry
of him that
ruleth
among
fools
.
