Ecclesiastes 9:2 in Context — Ecclesiastes 9
1 Por isso fiz meu coração considerar todas estas coisas, para entender com clareza tudo isto: que os justos, e os sábios, e suas obras, estão nas mãos de Deus; até o amor e o ódio, o homem nada sabe o que há à sua frente.
2 Tudo [acontece] de modo semelhante a todos; o mesmo acontece ao justo e ao perverso; ao bom e ao puro, assim como ao impuro; tanto ao que sacrifica, como ao que não sacrifica; tanto ao bom, como ao pecador; ao que jura, assim como ao que teme [fazer] juramento.
3 Esta coisa má [existe] entre tudo o que é feito abaixo do sol, que a todos aconteça o mesmo; e que o coração dos filhos homens esteja cheio de maldade, e que haja loucuras em seus corações durante suas vidas, e depois [eles vão] para entre os mortos.
4 Porque para aquele que está junto a todos os vivos há esperança (pois melhor é um cão vivo do que um leão morto).
