Verse 2

All things come alike to all: there is one{H259} event{H4745} to the righteous{H6662} and to the wicked;{H7563} to the good{H2896} and to the clean{H2889} and to the unclean;{H2931} to him that sacrificeth{H2076} and to him that{H834} sacrificeth{H2076} not; as is the good,{H2896} so is the sinner;{H2398} [and] he that sweareth,{H7650} as he that feareth{H3373} an oath.{H7621}
