Ecclesiastes 9:1-3

1For all this I laid to my heartH3820, even to explore all this: that the righteousH6662, and the wiseH2450, and their works, are in the handH3027 of GodH430; whether it be loveH160 or hatredH8135, manH120 knoweth it not; all is before them.

2All things come alike to all: there is oneH259 event to the righteousH6662 and to the wickedH7563; to the goodH2896 and to the cleanH2889 and to the uncleanH2931; to him that sacrificeth and to him that sacrificeth not; as is the goodH2896, so is the sinnerH2398; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oathH7621. 3This is an evilH7451 in all that is done under the sunH8121, that there is oneH259 event unto all: yea alsoH1571, the heartH3820 of the sonsH1121 of menH120 is fullH4390 of evilH7451, and madnessH1947 is in their heartH3820 while they live, and after that they go to the deadH4191.
