Wisdom Better than Folly

English Standard Version ESV

Ecclesiastes 9:11 1Again I saw that under the sun 2the race is not to the swift, nor 3the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and 4chance 5happen to them all.

Almeida Atualizada (Portuguese) AA

Eclesiastes 9:11 Observei ainda e vi que debaixo do sol não é dos ligeiros a carreira, nem dos fortes a peleja, nem tampouco dos sábios o pão, nem ainda dos prudentes a riqueza, nem dos entendidos o favor; mas que a ocasião e a sorte ocorrem a todos.

King James Version KJV

Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

New King James Version NKJV

Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned and saw under the sun that-- The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.

Nova Versão Internacional NVIP

Eclesiastes 9:11 Percebi ainda outra coisa debaixo do sol:Os velozes nem sempre vencem a corrida;os fortes nem sempre triunfam na guerra;os sábios nem sempre têm comida;os prudentes nem sempre são ricos;os instruídos nem sempre têm prestígio;pois o tempo e o acaso afetam a todos.
