For I have taken all this to my heart, even to ^(F1)examine ^(F2)it all, that righteous people, wise people, and their deeds are ^(C1)in the hand of God. ^(C2)People do not know whether it will be ^(C3)love or hatred; anything ^(F3)awaits them.

^(C1)It is the same for all. There is ^(C2)one fate for the righteous and for the wicked; for the good, for the clean and the unclean; for the person who offers a sacrifice and for the one who does not sacrifice. As the good person is, so is the sinner; the one who swears an oath is just as the one who ^(F1)is afraid to swear an oath.

This is an evil in everything that is done under the sun, that there is ^(C1)one fate for everyone. Furthermore, ^(C2)the hearts of the sons of mankind are full of evil, and ^(C3)insanity is in their hearts throughout their lives. Afterward they go to the dead.
