Like things happen to good and bad.1 ¶ For²² all² this² I consideredºª in² my heartº even to declareºª² all² this,² that² the righteous,º and the wise,º and their works,º [are] in the handº of God:º no² manº knowethºª eitherº loveº or² hatredº [by] all² [that is] beforeº them. 2 All² [things come] alike² to all:² [there is] oneº eventº to the righteous,º and to the wicked;º to the goodº and to the clean,º and to the unclean;º to him that sacrificeth,ºª and to him that¹ sacrificethºª² not:² as [is] the good,º so [is] the sinner;ºª [and] he that sweareth,ºª as² [he] that feareth¹² an oath.º 3 This² [is] an evilº among all² [things] that² are doneºª under² the sun,º that² [there is] oneº eventº unto all:² yea, also² the heartº of the sonsº of menº is fullºª of evil,º and madnessº [is] in their heartº while they live,º and afterº that [they go] to² the dead.ºª [1] Dt 33:3; 1S 2:9; 2S 15:25; Jb 5:8; Ps 10:14; 31:5; 37:5; 73:3, 11; Pv 16:3; Ec 1:17; 7:15, 25; 8:14, 16; 12:9; Is 26:12; 49:1; Jr 1:18; Mal 3:15; Jn 10:27; 1Co 3:5; 2Ti 1:12; 1P 1:5.
