So I reflected on all this and concluded that the righteous and the wise and what they do are in God's hands, but no one knows whether love or hate awaits them. All share a common destiny--the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. As it is with the good, so with the sinful; as it is with those who take oaths, so with those who are afraid to take them.
but no one knows whether love or hate awaits them
Ecclesiastes 10:14 No one knows what is coming--who can tell someone else what will happen to them?
All share a common destiny--the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad
Job 9:22 "It is all the same; that is why I say 'He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.' "
Ecclesiastes 2:14 The wise have eyes in their heads, while the fool walks in the darkness; but I came to realize that the same fate overtakes them both.
Ecclesiastes 3:20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return.
Ecclesiastes 9:3-4 This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all. The hearts of people, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead. Anyone who is among the living has hope--even a live dog is better off than a dead lion.
Ecclesiastes 8:12 Although a wicked person who commits a hundred crimes may live a long time, I know that it will go better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.
