For the Canaanitesª and all¹ the inhabitantsª° of the landª shall hearª° [of it], and shall environ us round,ª°¹ and cut offª°¹ our nameª from¹ the earth:ª and what¹ wilt thou doª° unto thy greatª name?ª" {Jsh 7:8-9} + "And see,ª° if¹ it goeth upª° by the wayª of his own coastª to Bethshemesh,ª [then] he¹ hath doneª° us¹ this¹ greatª evil:ª but if¹ not,¹ then we shall knowª° that¹ [it is] not¹ his handª [that] smoteª° us: it¹ [was] a chanceª [that] happened¹ to us.²°" {1Sm 6:9} + "For¹¹ all¹ this¹ I consideredª° in¹ my heartª even to declareª°¹ all¹ this,¹ that¹ the righteous,ª and the wise,ª and their works,ª [are] in the handª of God:ª no¹ manª knowethª° eitherª loveª or¹ hatredª [by] all¹ [that is] beforeª them. ... This¹ [is] an evilª among all¹ [things] that¹ are doneª° under¹ the sun,ª that¹ [there is] oneª eventª unto all:¹ yea, also¹ the heartª of the sonsª of menª is fullª° of evil,ª and madnessª [is] in their heartª while they live,ª and afterª that [they go] to¹ the dead.ª°" {Ecc 9:1-3} + "I returned,ª° and sawª° under¹ the sun,ª that¹ the raceª [is] not¹ to the swift,ª nor¹ the battleª to the strong,ª neither¹ yet¹ breadª to the wise,ª nor¹ yet¹ richesª to men of understanding,ª° nor¹ yet¹ favourª to men of skill;ª° but¹ timeª and chanceª happenethª° to¹ them all.¹ ... For¹ manª also¹ knowethª° not¹¹ his time:ª as the fishesª that are takenª°¹ in an evilª net,²¹ and as the birdsª that are caughtª° in the snare;ª so² [are] the sonsª of menª snaredª° in an evilª time,ª when it fallethª°¹ suddenlyª upon¹ them." {Ecc 9:11-12}
