전도서 8:2의 타나크

Who is as [distinctive as] the sages, and who knows [(as he does)] the meaning of a thing? A man's wisdom will light his face, and the splendor of his countenance will transcend [(the faces of other men, so that they will come to fear him)].

Do not be hasty [to think] that you can escape Him [(for wherever you may go, there He reigns)]. Do not persist in [the doing of] an evil thing. For whatever He wishes He may do [(in exacting punishment of you)].

All [take it to heart] when [they perceive that] all [men receive their just desserts]. [And all men know] that one fate [(death)] befalls all men in this world. But the righteous, knowing that judgment awaits all men in the world to come, choose to be righteous in this world.] [Some instances of the above phenomenon:] the righteous one [(Noach)] and the wicked one [(Pharaoh Nechoh), both of whom were lame], the pure one [(Aaron)] and the unclean one [(the spies) — the same fate [(not entering Eretz Yisrael) befalling both, though Aaron spoke in praise of the land, and the spies, against it]; the sacrificer [Yoshiyahu, viz. II Chronicles 35:11) and the non-sacrificer [(Achav) — both of whom were slain by arrows]; the good man [(David, who built the Temple)] and the sinner [(Nevuchadnezzar, who destroyed it) — both reigned forty years]; the false swearer [(Tzidkiyahu, viz. II Chronicles 36:134)] and the fearer of oaths [(Shimshon, viz. Judges 15:12,) both of whom died by having their eyes gouged out.]
