1. For all this I laid to my heart and indeed to investigate all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God man knoweth neither love nor hatred: all is before them.
2. All things come alike to all: one event to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good, and to the clean, and to the unclean, to him that sacrificeth and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
