As with the good person, so with the sinner; as with those who swear oaths, so with those who avoid them. 3 This is the distressing thing about everything that happens under the sun: the same fate befalls all. Moreover, the hearts of humans are full of evil, and madness resides in their hearts during their lives; and after that, they join the dead.
