Ecclesiastes 9:11

11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the ^aswift, 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.

14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the ^bswift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:

a Mosiah 4:27

27 And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run ^bfaster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order.
