Explore "Ecclesiastes" by Solomon on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
So all this I laid to my heart, and I concluded[note: Or "examined"] that the righteous and the wise, as well as their deeds, [are] in the hand of God. So no one knows anything that will [come] to them, whether [it will be] love or hatred.
The same fate [comes] to everyone: to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good and to the wicked,[note: Several versions (Greek, Syriac, Latin) insert "and to the bad"] to the clean and to the unclean, to those who sacrifice and to those who do not sacrifice. As [with] the good [man], so also to the sinner; [as with] those who swear an oath, so [also] those who fear oaths.
