In the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon further wrote: “I returned to see under the sun that the swift do not have the race, nor the mighty ones the battle, nor do the wise also have the food, nor do the understanding ones also have the riches, nor do even those having knowledge have the favor. ”
Saalomon kirjutas Koguja raamatus veel: „Taas nägin ma päikese all, et jooks ei olene kärmeist ega sõda sangareist; samuti ei olene leib tarkadest, rikkus mõistlikest ega menu osavaist. ”
