ס֥וֹף דָּבָ֖ר הַכֹּ֣ל נִשְׁמָ֑ע אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִ֤ים יְרָא֙ וְאֶת־מִצְוֺתָ֣יו שְׁמ֔וֹר כִּי־זֶ֖ה כׇּל־הָאָדָֽם

The sum of the matter, when all is said and done: Revere God and observe His commandments! For this applies to all mankind:

כִּ֚י אֶת־כׇּל־מַֽעֲשֶׂ֔ה הָאֱלֹהִ֛ים יָבִ֥א בְמִשְׁפָּ֖ט עַ֣ל כׇּל־נֶעְלָ֑ם אִם־ט֖וֹב וְאִם־רָֽע  

that God will call every creature to account for ”everything unknown",  be it good or bad.

סוף דבר הכל נשמע את האלהים ירא ואת מצותיו שמור כי זה כל האדם 

The sum of the matter, when all is said and done: Revere God and observe His commandments! For this applies to all mankind.
