Ecclesiastes 9:1-3
Mankind Is in the Hand of God
9For I have given all this to my heart and explain 1it that righteous men, wise men, and their service are ain the hand of God. bMan does not know whether it will be clove or hatred; anything may be before him.
2aIt is the same for all. There is bone fate for the righteous and for the wicked; for the good, for the clean and for the unclean; for the man who offers a sacrifice and for the one who does not sacrifice. As the good man is, so is the sinner; as the swearer is, so is the one who 1is afraid to swear. 3This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is aone fate for all. Furthermore, bthe hearts of the sons of men are full of evil, and cmadness is in their hearts throughout their lives. Afterwards they go to the dead.
