For all this I considered in my hearteven to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and theirworks, are in the hand of God: no man knowetheitherlove or hatred by all that is beforethem.
All thingscomealike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him thatsacrificeth, and to him thatsacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he thatsweareth, as he thatfeareth an oath.
This is an evilamong all thingsthat are doneunder the sun, thatthere is one eventunto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in theirheartwhiletheylive, and afterthatthey go to the dead.
Livejoyfullywith the wifewhomthoulovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hathgiventheeunder the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in thislife, and in thy labourwhichthoutakestunder the sun.
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chancehappeneth to them all.
For man alsoknoweth not his time: as the fishesthat are taken in an evil net, and as the birdsthat are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an eviltime, when it fallethsuddenlyuponthem.
