by wisdom

unto wine

all

unto every work

over another to his own hurt
<07451>_.

<07200> (8800)

under the sun
<08121>_,

that the race
<04793>

[is] not to the swift
<07031>_,

nor the battle
<04421>

to the strong

neither yet bread

nor yet riches
<06239>

to men of understanding

to men of skill

but time
<06256>

and chance
<06294>

happeneth
<07136> (8799)

to them all.
