NASB | Ecclesiastes 9:11 ¶ I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning nor favor to men of ability; for time and chance overtake them all. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ecclesiastes 9:11 ¶ I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the strong, and neither is bread to the wise nor riches to those of intelligence and understanding nor favor to men of ability; but time and chance overtake them all. [Ps 33:16-19; Rom 9:16] |
Bible Question: I am so bewildered about now. For so long, I've had the words in my mind: ( The race is not given to the swift nor to the strong, but to him that endureth til the end.) Is this a true scripture? |
Bible Answer: Dear bhw36004, I think your putting two verses together, Ecc 9:11 and Matt 24:13 or Mark 13:13 Matt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.KJV Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. KJV It sounds to me like your version certainly is biblical. Not to the swift or to the strong but to him who endures to the end will be saved. Arnie |
