Ecclesiastes 9:2

WEB

2All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who doesn’t sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he who takes an oath, as he who fears an oath.

KJV

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 sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.

BSB

2It is the same for all: There is a common fate for the righteous and the wicked, for the good and the bad,[+] for the clean and the unclean, for the one who sacrifices and the one who does not. As it is for the good, so it is for the sinner; as it is for the one who makes a vow, so it is for the one who refuses to take a vow.

FBV

2[+] Yet we all share the same destiny—those who do right, those who do evil, the good, the religiously-observant and those that are not,[+] those who sacrifice and those who don't. Those who do good are as those who sin, those who make vows to God are as those who don't.
