Ecclesiastes 9:2
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“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.”
יָרֵא
Fearing, those who fear. Yare. The desire of those who fear Him He will fulfil. The life surrendered to holy awe of God is the life God honours most fully.
