(10.) =All which shall find thy hand in order to do= (that is, everything which it is in thy power to perform in regard of the above), =in thy might do it, because= there is =nothing= of =a work, or a contrivance, or a knowledge, or a wisdom= (all these being without the article, and singular) =in Sheol, which= (is the ‘place,’ or ‘end,’ etc.; for we have in English to supply some general word here) =thou= (emphatic) =art going unto= (the meaning is, ‘and _that_ is whither _thou_ art going unto’). 11 ¶ I returned, and saw │ But to return, I perceived under the sun, that the race │ how in this work-day world that _is_ not to the swift, nor the │ not to the swift ones is the battle to the strong, neither │ race, nor to the strong ones yet bread to the wise, nor yet │ the battle, nor even to wise riches to men of understanding,│ ones bread, nor yet to prudent nor yet favour to men of skill;│ ones wealth, nor yet to the but time and chance happeneth │ instructed ones favour.

(11.) =I turned=, and =see under the sun= (‘see’ is rightly joined by the accents to the word which follows it; it is, as this formula of introduction shows, another aspect of the same truth as that set forth above) =how not to swift= is =the race= (מרוץ, occurs here only), =and not= to =mighty ones the war, and also not to wise ones bread, and also not to prudent ones= (occurs Genesis xli. 33 of Joseph, and 1 Kings iii. 12 of Solomon) =an increase, and not to knowing ones a favour=: (these three nouns, ‘bread,’ etc., are singular and without the article, the other two are with it), =for time= (the providential season, that is) and =chance= (occurs 1 Kings v. 4 as a noun only; the meaning of the verb, which occurs frequently, is, ‘to meet,’ ‘to approach’) =happens with respect to= (את, which the LXX. notice by making the verb compound, συναντήσεται) =all.= 12 For man also knoweth not │ For so also Humanity knows not his time: as the fishes that │ its time, but just like fishes are taken in an evil net, and │ which have been caught in a as the birds that are caught │ net, or birds held fast in a in the snare; so _are_ the │ snare, just like them the sons sons of men snared in an evil │ of men are ensnared in some time, when it falleth suddenly │ evil time, as it falls upon upon them. │ them――suddenly.
