Ecclesiastes 9:11-12, 18

Ecclesiastes 9:11-12 ASV

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 favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. 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, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

Ecclesiastes 9:18 ASV

Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroyeth much good.
