Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

BrLXX Ματαιότης ἐν τοῖς πᾶσι· συνάντημα ἓν τῷ δικαίῳ καὶ τῷ ἀσεβεῖ, τῷ ἀγαθῷ καὶ τῷ κακῷ, καὶ τῷ καθαρῷ καὶ τῷ ἀκαθάρτῳ, καὶ τῷ θυσιάζοντι καὶ τῷ μὴ θυσιάζοντι· ὡς ὁ ἀγαθὸς ὡς ὁ ἁμαρτάνων, ὡς ὁ ὀμνύων καθὼς ὁ τὸν ὅρκον φοβούμενος.
(Mataiotaʸs en tois pasi; sunantaʸma hen tōi dikaiōi kai tōi asebei, tōi agathōi kai tōi kakōi, kai tōi katharōi kai tōi akathartōi, kai tōi thusiazonti kai tōi maʸ thusiazonti; hōs ho agathos hōs ho hamartanōn, hōs ho omnuōn kathōs ho ton horkon foboumenos. )
BrTr Vanity is in all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good, and to the bad; both to the pure, and to the impure; both to him that sacrifices, and to him that sacrifices not: as is the good, so is the sinner: as is the swearer, even so is he that fears an oath.
ULT Everything is as for all:
⇔ one happening for the righteous person and for the wicked person,
⇔ for the good person,
⇔ and for the pure person and for the unclean person,
⇔ and for the person who sacrifices and for the person who does not sacrifice.
⇔ As the good person, so the sinner;
⇔ the person who swears an oath is
⇔ just as the person who fears an oath.
UST But we know that some time in the future we will all die.
⇔ It does not matter whether we act righteously or wickedly,
⇔ whether we are good or whether we are bad,
⇔ whether we are acceptable for worshiping God
⇔ or whether we have done things to cause us to be unacceptable.
⇔ It does not matter if we offer sacrifices to God or if we do not.
⇔ It does not matter if we do what we have promised God that we will do or if we do not.
⇔ We all die.
⇔ The same thing will happen to good people and to sinful people,
⇔ to those who solemnly promise to do things for God and to those who are afraid to make such promises.
BSB It is the same for all: There is a common fate for the righteous and the wicked, for the good [and the bad],[fn] for the clean and the unclean, for the one who sacrifices and the one who does not As it is for the good, so it is for the sinner; as it is for the one who makes a vow, so [it is] for the one who refuses to take a vow.
9:2 LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate; Hebrew does not include and the bad.
MSB (Same as above including footnotes)
OEB vapour, inasmuch as the fate of all is alike – of saint and scoundrel, good and bad, pure and impure, those who do and those who do not practise sacrifice. Good man and sinner fare alike, those who take oaths and those who are afraid to take them.
WEBBE All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who doesn’t sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he who takes an oath, as he who fears an oath.
WMBB (Same as above)
NET Everyone shares the same fate –
⇔ the righteous and the wicked,
⇔ the good and the bad,
⇔ the ceremonially clean and unclean,
⇔ those who offer sacrifices and those who do not.
⇔ What happens to the good person, also happens to the sinner;
⇔ what happens to those who make vows, also happens to those who are afraid to make vows.
LSV The whole [is] as to the whole; one event is to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good, and to the clean, and to the unclean, and to him who is sacrificing, and to him who is not sacrificing; as [is] the good, so [is] the sinner, he who is swearing as he who is fearing an oath.
FBV Yet we all share the same destiny—those who do right, those who do evil, the good, the religiously-observant and those that are not,[fn] those who sacrifice and those who don't. Those who do good are as those who sin, those who make vows to God are as those who don't.
9:2 “The religiously-observant and those that are not:” literally, “the clean and the unclean.”
T4T But we know that some time in the future we will all die;
⇔ it does not matter whether we act righteously or wickedly,
⇔ whether we are good or whether we are bad,
⇔ whether we are acceptable for worshiping God
⇔ or whether we have done things to cause us to be unacceptable;
⇔ it does not matter if we offer sacrifices to God or if we do not;
⇔ it does not matter if we do what we have promised God that we will do or if we do not;
⇔ we all die.
⇔ The same thing will happen to good people and to sinful people,
⇔ to those who solemnly promise to do things for God and to those who are afraid to make such promises.

BBE Because to all there is one event, to the upright man and to the evil, to the clean and to the unclean, to him who makes an offering and to him who makes no offering; as is the good so is the sinner; he who takes an oath is as he who has fear of it.
