Ecclesiastes 9:9-11

New American Standard Bible

^9 [a]Enjoy life with the wife whom you love all the days of your ^(A)futile life which He has given you under the sun, ^[b]all the days of your futility; for this is your ^(B)reward in life and in your work which you have labored under the sun.

Whatever Your Hand Finds to Do

¹⁰ Whatever your hand finds to do, ^(C)do it with all your might; for there is no ^(D)activity, planning, knowledge, or wisdom in ^(E)Sheol where you are going.

¹¹ I again saw under the sun that the ^(F)race is not to the swift and the ^(G)battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor ^(H)wealth to the discerning, nor favor to the skillful; for time and ^(I)chance overtake them all.
