Ecclesiastes 9:1-2

Death Comes to All
9 This, too, I carefully explored: Even though the actions of godly and wise people are in God’s hands, no one knows whether God will show them favor. 2 The same destiny ultimately awaits everyone, whether righteous or wicked, good or bad,[a] 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.

A Common Destiny for All
9 So I reflected on all this and concluded that the righteous and the wise and what they do are in God’s hands, but no one knows whether love or hate awaits them.(A) 2 All share a common destiny—the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad,[a] the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not.
As it is with the good,
so with the sinful;
as it is with those who take oaths,
so with those who are afraid to take them.(B)

3 Then the Lord asked Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blameless—a man of complete integrity. He fears God and stays away from evil. And he has maintained his integrity, even though you urged me to harm him without cause.”
4 Satan replied to the Lord, “Skin for skin! A man will give up everything he has to save his life. 5 But reach out and take away his health, and he will surely curse you to your face!”
6 “All right, do with him as you please,” the Lord said to Satan. “But spare his life.”

4 “Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has(D) for his own life. 5 But now stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones,(E) and he will surely curse you to your face.”(F)
6 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands;(G) but you must spare his life.”(H)

9 Satan replied to the Lord, “Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God. 10 You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is! 11 But reach out and take away everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face!”
12 “All right, you may test him,” the Lord said to Satan. “Do whatever you want with everything he possesses, but don’t harm him physically.” So Satan left the Lord’s presence.

Job 22:5-30
New Living Translation
Job 22:5-30
New Living Translation
5 No, it’s because of your wickedness!
There’s no limit to your sins.
6 “For example, you must have lent money to your friend
and demanded clothing as security.
Yes, you stripped him to the bone.
7 You must have refused water for the thirsty
and food for the hungry.
8 You probably think the land belongs to the powerful
and only the privileged have a right to it!
9 You must have sent widows away empty-handed
and crushed the hopes of orphans.
10 That is why you are surrounded by traps
and tremble from sudden fears.
11 That is why you cannot see in the darkness,
and waves of water cover you.
12 “God is so great—higher than the heavens,
higher than the farthest stars.
13 But you reply, ‘That’s why God can’t see what I am doing!
How can he judge through the thick darkness?
14 For thick clouds swirl about him, and he cannot see us.
He is way up there, walking on the vault of heaven.’
15 “Will you continue on the old paths
where evil people have walked?
16 They were snatched away in the prime of life,
the foundations of their lives washed away.
17 For they said to God, ‘Leave us alone!
What can the Almighty do to us?’
18 Yet he was the one who filled their homes with good things,
so I will have nothing to do with that kind of thinking.
19 “The righteous will be happy to see the wicked destroyed,
and the innocent will laugh in contempt.
20 They will say, ‘See how our enemies have been destroyed.
The last of them have been consumed in the fire.’
21 “Submit to God, and you will have peace;
then things will go well for you.
22 Listen to his instructions,
and store them in your heart.
23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored—
so clean up your life.
24 If you give up your lust for money
and throw your precious gold into the river,
25 the Almighty himself will be your treasure.
He will be your precious silver!
26 “Then you will take delight in the Almighty
and look up to God.
27 You will pray to him, and he will hear you,
and you will fulfill your vows to him.
28 You will succeed in whatever you choose to do,
and light will shine on the road ahead of you.
29 If people are in trouble and you say, ‘Help them,’
God will save them.
30 Even sinners will be rescued;
they will be rescued because your hands are pure.”

5 Is not your wickedness great?
Are not your sins(A) endless?(B)
6 You demanded security(C) from your relatives for no reason;(D)
you stripped people of their clothing, leaving them naked.(E)
7 You gave no water(F) to the weary
and you withheld food from the hungry,(G)
8 though you were a powerful man, owning land(H)—
an honored man,(I) living on it.(J)
9 And you sent widows(K) away empty-handed(L)
and broke the strength of the fatherless.(M)
10 That is why snares(N) are all around you,(O)
why sudden peril terrifies you,(P)
11 why it is so dark(Q) you cannot see,
and why a flood of water covers you.(R)
12 “Is not God in the heights of heaven?(S)
And see how lofty are the highest stars!
13 Yet you say, ‘What does God know?(T)
Does he judge through such darkness?(U)
14 Thick clouds(V) veil him, so he does not see us(W)
as he goes about in the vaulted heavens.’(X)
15 Will you keep to the old path
that the wicked(Y) have trod?(Z)
16 They were carried off before their time,(AA)
their foundations(AB) washed away by a flood.(AC)
17 They said to God, ‘Leave us alone!
What can the Almighty do to us?’(AD)
18 Yet it was he who filled their houses with good things,(AE)
so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.(AF)
19 The righteous see their ruin and rejoice;(AG)
the innocent mock(AH) them, saying,
20 ‘Surely our foes are destroyed,(AI)
and fire(AJ) devours their wealth.’
21 “Submit to God and be at peace(AK) with him;(AL)
in this way prosperity will come to you.(AM)
22 Accept instruction from his mouth(AN)
and lay up his words(AO) in your heart.(AP)
23 If you return(AQ) to the Almighty, you will be restored:(AR)
If you remove wickedness far from your tent(AS)
24 and assign your nuggets(AT) to the dust,
your gold(AU) of Ophir(AV) to the rocks in the ravines,(AW)
25 then the Almighty will be your gold,(AX)
the choicest silver for you.(AY)
26 Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty(AZ)
and will lift up your face(BA) to God.(BB)
27 You will pray to him,(BC) and he will hear you,(BD)
and you will fulfill your vows.(BE)
28 What you decide on will be done,(BF)
and light(BG) will shine on your ways.(BH)
29 When people are brought low(BI) and you say, ‘Lift them up!’
then he will save the downcast.(BJ)
30 He will deliver even one who is not innocent,(BK)
who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”(BL)

And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God. 4 And what about the eighteen people who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Were they the worst sinners in Jerusalem? 5 No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too.”
