10 (A)Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your (B)might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.

11 I returned (C)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 (D)chance happen to them all.
12 For (E)man also does not know his time:
Like fish taken in a cruel net,
Like birds caught in a snare,
So the sons of men are (F)snared in an evil time,
When it falls suddenly upon them.

10 Whatever(A) your hand finds to do, do it with all your might,(B) for in the realm of the dead,(C) where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.(D)

The race is not to the swift
    or the battle to the strong,(E)
nor does food come to the wise(F)
    or wealth to the brilliant
    or favor to the learned;
but time and chance(G) happen to them all.(H)

As fish are caught in a cruel net,
    or birds are taken in a snare,
so people are trapped by evil times(I)
    that fall unexpectedly upon them.(J)
