Ecclesiastes 9:1-2
1For I have takenH5414 allH3605 thisH2088 to my heartH3820, even to 1examineH952 2it allH3605, that righteousH6662 peopleH6662, wiseH2450 peopleH2450, and their deedsH5652 are 3in the handH3027 of GodH430. 4PeopleH120 do not knowH3045 whetherH1571 it will be 5loveH160 orH1571 hatredH8135; anythingH3605 6awaitsH6440 them.
27It is the sameH3512 for allH3605. There is 8oneH259 fateH4745 for the righteousH6662 and for the wickedH7563; for the goodH2896, for the cleanH2889 and the uncleanH2931; for the person who offersH2076 aH2076 sacrificeH2076 and for the one whoH834 does not sacrificeH2076. As the goodH2896 personH2896 is, so is the sinnerH2398; the one who swearsH7650 an oath is just as the one who 9is afraidH3372 to swear an oathH7621.
