Ecclesiastes 9:11

King James Version

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.
New King James Version

I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding, nor favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.
New American Standard Bible

I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise, nor wealth to the discerning, nor favor to men of ability; for time and chance overtake them all.
New International Version

I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the sift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.
The Amplified Bible

I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, neither is bread to the wise nor riches to men of intelligence and understanding nor favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

  1. Stay Weak; The End Time Men - W.W. Fischer We have failed to see that child-likeness is spiritual maturity because we have been so busy trying to emulate the world by being macho-like Christians.

  2. Strength; The End Time Men - W.W. Fischer Admitting our inadequacies is not to promote self-hatred, self-pity, or an inferiority complex, but to bring us to a place of total honesty before Almighty God that without Him we can do nothing.
