• Ecclesiastes 9:1-3: Indeed, I took all this to heart and explained it all: The righteous, the wise, and their works are in God’s hands. People don’t know whether to expect love or hate. Everything lies ahead of them.Everything is the same for everyone: There is one fate for the righteous and the wicked, for the good and the bad, for the clean and the unclean, for the one who sacrifices and the one who does not sacrifice. As it is for the good, so also it is for the sinner; as it is for the one who takes an oath, so also for the one who fears an oath.This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: there is one fate for everyone. In addition, the hearts of people are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live; after that they go to the dead.

Does he apportion destruction in his anger?Are they like straw before the wind, like chaff a storm sweeps away?God reserves a person’s punishment for his children. Let God repay the person himself, so that he may know it.Let his own eyes see his demise; let him drink from the Almighty’s wrath!For what does he care about his family once he is dead, when the number of his months has run out?Can anyone teach God knowledge, since he judges the exalted ones?One person dies in excellent health, completely secure and at ease.His body is well fed, and his bones are full of marrow.Yet another person dies with a bitter soul, having never tasted prosperity.But they both lie in the dust, and worms cover them.I know your thoughts very well, the schemes by which you would wrong me.For you say,“ Where now is the nobleman’s house?” and“ Where are the tents the wicked lived in?”Have you never consulted those who travel the roads? Don’t you accept their reports?Indeed, the evil person is spared from the day of disaster, rescued from the day of wrath.Who would denounce his behavior to his face? Who would repay him for what he has done?He is carried to the grave, and someone keeps watch over his tomb.The dirt on his grave is sweet to him. Everyone follows behind him, and those who go before him are without number.So how can you offer me such futile comfort? Your answers are deceptive.

They wither like heads of grain.If this is not true, then who can prove me a liar and show that my speech is worthless?
