All 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.(Ecclesiastes 9:2)

For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.(Ecclesiastes 9:4)

Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.(Ecclesiastes 9:7)
