Ecclesiastes 9:3

זֶ֣ה רָ֔ע בְּכֹ֥ל אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂ֖ה תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ כִּ֣י מִקְרֶ֣ה אֶחָ֣ד לַכֹּ֗ל וְגַ֤ם לֵב֙ בְּנֵ֣י הָאָדָ֔ם מָלֵ֥א רָ֛ע וְהוֹלֵל֖וֹת בִּלְבָבָ֑ם בְּחַיֵּיהֶ֔ם וְאַחֲרָ֖יו אֶל הַמֵּתִֽים׃

King James Version (KJV)

This 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.

Modern English

This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that the same event happens to all. Also, the hearts of the children of man are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
