Just when you thought "the preacher" in Ecclesiastes peaked with one liners...he comes up with a new zinger.
"The race is not always to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor satisfaction to the wise, Nor riches to the smart, Nor grace to the learned. Sooner or later bad luck hits us all. No one can predict misfortune. Like fish caught in a cruel net or birds in a trap, So men and women are caught By accidents evil and sudden" (The Message)
Ecclesiastes is definitely not boring or lacking colorful insight. I have enjoyed reading this time through these chapters. Perhaps because we have many cynics, sarcastics, and ranters for these times we live today.
