ECC 9:11

11 I have seen something else here on the earth: The person who runs fastest does not [always] win the race, the strongest soldiers do not [always] win the battle, the wisest people do not [always] have food, the smartest people do not [always] become rich, and people who have studied a lot are not [always] ◄honored/treated very specially► by others; we cannot [always] control what things will happen to us and where they will happen.
