There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.

The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.

His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.

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.

I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.

And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
