Eccles. 9:1–6 No matter how difficult or humble a person’s circumstances may be, those circumstances are to be preferred to dying, because a living dog is better than a dead lion.

Eccles. 9:7–10 When godly people find enjoyment in life, they know that it is due to God’s “approval” or “favor” (v. 7; compare 2:24–26; 3:13; 5:19–20).

Eccles. 9:11–12 From the human perspective, many things appear to be the result of pure chance.

Eccles. 9:13–16 The Preacher gives an example of wisdom’s ability to produce a remarkable victory. Even when such wisdom is forgotten or despised, it is still to be valued over earthly might.

Eccles. 9:17–18 Just as one wise man can successfully overcome the worst odds, so also one sinner destroys much good.
