Ecclesiastes 9:1-2

1SoH3588 I tookH5414 allH3605 thisH2088 toH413 heartH3820 and concludedH952 thatH834 the righteousH6662 and the wiseH2450, as well as their deedsH5652, are in God’sH430 handsH3027. ManH120 does notH369 knowH3045 whatH3605 lies aheadH6440, whetherH1571 loveH160 orH1571 hateH8135.

2It is the sameH3605H834 for allH3605: There is a commonH259 fateH4745 for the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, for the goodH2896 and the bad,1 for the cleanH2889 and the uncleanH2931, for the one who sacrificesH2076 and the oneH834 who does notH369. As it is for the goodH2896, so it is for the sinnerH2398; as it is for the one who makes a vowH7650, soH834 it is for the one who refusesH3373 to take a vowH7621.
