Like Things Happen to All

Folder: 
Spiritual

The works of the righteous, and

The wise are in the hands of God.

People know neither love nor hatred

By everything they see before them.



All things come alike to all.

One thing happens to

The righteous and the wicked.

To the clean and the unclean;

As is the good, so is the sinner.



The hearts of men are full of evil,

There is madness in their hearts

While they live; after that,

They go to the dead.



To all the living, there is hope.

The living know they will die,

But the dead know nothing;

They are no longer rewarded.



The dead are forgotten,

Their love and their hatred;

Even their envy perished.

They will never have a portion

In any thing done under the sun.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

~I feel so inspired reading the Book of Ecclesiastes 9:1-6 KJV; hence, this transcription. King Solomon, the son of King David, who succeeded the throne, wrote this book. King David, his father, was the greatest Poet in the Bible. He was a Psalmist.~
