The small

“For I know that You will bring me to death
And to the house of meeting for all living.

Both low and high,
Rich and poor together.

No man has authority to restrain the wind with the wind, or authority over the day of death; and there is no discharge in the time of war, and evil will not deliver those who practice it.

Furthermore, men are afraid of a high place and of terrors on the road; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags himself along, and the caperberry is ineffective. For man goes to his eternal home while mourners go about in the street.

Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried.

And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,

And the servant

As sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
Death shall be their shepherd;
And the upright shall rule over them in the morning,
And their form shall be for Sheol to consume

So that they have no habitation.
