Ecclesiastes 9:1
King James Version
“For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred all before them.”
Context
1For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred all before them.
2All 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 the good, so the sinner; he that sweareth, as that feareth an oath.
3This an evil among all that are done under the sun, that one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that to the dead.
4For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
