Ecclesiastes 9:13
This is what I also observed about wisdom on earth, and it is a great burden to me:
Ecclesiastes 6:1
Here is another misfortune that I have seen on earth, and it weighs heavily on people:
Ecclesiastes 7:15
During the days of my fleeting life I have seen both of these things: Sometimes a righteous person dies prematurely in spite of his righteousness, and sometimes a wicked person lives long in spite of his evil deeds.
Ecclesiastes 8:16
When I tried to gain wisdom and to observe the activity on earth -- even though it prevents anyone from sleeping day or night --
Ecclesiastes 9:11
Again, I observed this on the earth: the race is not always won by the swiftest, the battle is not always won by the strongest; prosperity does not always belong to those who are the wisest, wealth does not always belong to those who are the most discerning, nor does success always come to those with the most knowledge -- for time and chance may overcome them all.
