A common destiny for all
I have seen something else under the sun:
The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favour to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.
Moreever, no man knows when his hour will come: As fish are cought in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so men are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.
