1So I thought about all this and realized that the righteous, the wise, and their vibes are in God's hands: no one really knows love or hate with all that's going on.

2Everything hits the same for everyone: one fate for the righteous and the wicked; for the good and the clean, and the sus; same for those who sacrifice and those who don’t: the good and the sinner are on the same level; same with the one who swears and the one who fears an oath.

3This is lowkey a struggle under the sun, like one fate for all: the hearts of people are full of evil, and madness vibes with them while they live, then they just dip to the dead.

4But if you’re still living, there’s hope: a living dog is way better than a dead lion, no cap.

5The living know they’re gonna die: but the dead don’t know anything, and they’re not getting any rewards; their memories are just forgotten, periodt.

6Their love, hate, and envy are all gone; they don’t get a piece of anything that goes down under the sun anymore.

7Go eat your bread with joy and drink your wine with a happy heart; God’s got your back on your works now.

8Keep your fit fresh and your head always looking good, no cap.

9Live it up with the wifey you love all the days of your life, which God gave you under the sun, because that’s your vibe in this life, and with all your hustle under the sun.

10Whatever you find to do, do it with all your energy; because there’s no work, no plans, no knowledge, and no wisdom in the grave, where you’re headed.

11I peeped again under the sun and saw that the race isn’t for the swift, nor the battle for the strong, nor bread for the wise, nor riches for the smart; time and chance hit everyone.

12For man doesn’t know his time: like fish caught in a sus net, and birds trapped in a snare; that’s how people get snagged in a bad time when it hits them outta nowhere.

13I also saw this wisdom under the sun, and it hit different:

14There was a small city with few people, and a big king rolled up, besieged it, and built huge defenses against it.

15There was a poor wise dude in the city, and with his wisdom, he saved the city; but no one remembered that poor guy.

16Then I said, Wisdom is way better than strength: but the poor dude’s wisdom gets no love, and his words are just ignored.

17Wise guys get heard in silence more than the shout of someone ruling over fools.

18Wisdom is better than war weapons: but one sinner can mess up a lot of good.

1For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them.

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.

3This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

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

5For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

6Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

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

8Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.

9Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.

10Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

11I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

12For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

13This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:

14There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:

15Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

16Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

17The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.

18Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
