Ecclesiastes 9:1-2

1For I have takenH5414 allH3605 thisH2088 to my heartH3820 and explainH952 1it that righteousH6662 menH6662, wiseH2450 menH2450, and their deedsH5652 are 2in the handH3027 of GodH430. 3ManH120 does not knowH3045 whetherH1571 it will be 4loveH160 orH1571 hatredH8135; anythingH3605 5awaitsH6440 him.

26It is the sameH3512 for allH3605. There is 7oneH259 fateH4745 for the righteousH6662 and for the wickedH7563; for the goodH2896, for the cleanH2889 and for the uncleanH2931; for the man who offersH2076 a sacrificeH2076 and for the one whoH834 does not sacrificeH2076. As the goodH2896 manH2896 is, so is the sinnerH2398; as the swearerH7650 is, so is the one who 8is afraidH3372 to swearH7621.
