Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Ecc 9:2

Ecc 9:2 - The same destiny ultimately awaits everyone, whether righteous or wicked, good or bad,[fn] ceremonially clean or unclean, religious or irreligious. Good people receive the same treatment as sinners, and people who make promises to God are treated like people who don't.
