Ecc 10:9 When you work in a quarry, stones might fall and crush you. When you chop wood, there is danger with each stroke of your ax. Ecc 10:10 Using a dull ax requires great strength, so sharpen the blade. That’s the value of wisdom; it helps you succeed.

Ecc 9:13 Also this I came to see as wisdom under the sun, and it impressed me. Ecc 9:14 There was a small city with few men in it and a great king came to it, surrounded it and constructed large siegeworks against it.

Ecclesiastes Chapter 9 Verse 11

Ecc 9:11 I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.

Ecclesiastes Chapter 9 Verses 4 thru 6

Ecc 9:4 There is hope only for the living. As they say, “It’s better to be a live dog than a dead lion!” Ecc 9:5 For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten. Ecc 9:6 Indeed their love, their hate and their zeal have already perished, and they will no longer have a share in all that is done under the sun.

Ecclesiastes Chapter 9 Verses 2 & 3

Ecc 9:2 The same destiny ultimately awaits everyone, whether righteous or wicked, good or bad, ceremonially clean or unclean, religious or irreligious. Good people receive the same treatment as sinners, and people who make promises to God are treated like people who don’t. Ecc 9:3 It seems so wrong that everyone under the sun suffers the same fate. Already twisted by evil, people choose their own mad course, for they have no hope. There is nothing ahead but death anyway....

Ecclesiastes Chapter 8 Verse 14

Ecc 8:14 There is futility which is done on the earth, that is, there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked. On the other hand, there are evil men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I say that this too is futility.
