1There is an evil I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:
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 one knows either love or hatred by all that is before them.
2All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean, to him that sacrifices, and to him that does not sacrifice; as is the good, so is the sinner; and he who swears, as he who fears an oath.
16Moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
17I said in my heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time for every purpose and for every work.
18I said in my heart concerning the condition of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are like beasts.
19For that which befalls the sons of men also befalls beasts; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other; yes, they all have one breath; so that a man has no advantage over a beast: for all is vanity.
20All go to one place; all are of dust, and all turn to dust again.
9All this I have seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun; there is a time when one man rules over another to his own harm.
10Then I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had done so. This also is vanity.
11Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed quickly, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
14There is a vanity which is done upon the earth: there are just men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.
12I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives.
4For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
5For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing, nor have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
6Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.
11Since there are many things that increase vanity, what advantage does man have?
12For who knows what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spends as a shadow? For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?
14The wise man's eyes are in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I myself perceived that the same event happens to them all.
15So I said in my heart, "As it happens to the fool, so it happens even to me. And why was I then more wise?" Then I said in my heart, "This also is vanity."
16For there is no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever, since what now is will all be forgotten in the days to come. And how does the wise man die? Just like the fool.
17Therefore I hated life, because the work that was done under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

19And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will rule over all my labor in which I have labored and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.
20Therefore I turned my heart to despair over all the labor which I had done under the sun.
21For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and skill. Yet he must leave his inheritance to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.
