The Injustice of Time and Chance

The Injustice of Time and Chance

11I looked again and saw under the sun that the race does not belong to the swift, the battle does not belong to the mighty, food does not belong to the wise, wealth does not belong to the intelligent, and success[fn] does not belong to the skillful, for time and chance befalls all of them. 12For man does not know his time. Just as fish are caught in a cruel net and like birds who are seized in a snare, so also humans[fn] are ensnared at a cruel time when it falls suddenly upon them.


9:11 Or “favor”

9:12 Literally “the sons of the man”
