In my vain life I have seen everything; there are righteous people who perish in their righteousness, and there are wicked people who prolong their life in their evildoing. Ecclesiastes 7:15.
Surely there is no one on earth so righteous as to do good without ever sinning…your heart knows that many times you have yourself cursed others. Ecclesiastes 7:20 & 7:22.
Though sinners do evil a hundred times and prolong their lives, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they stand in fear before him… Ecclesiastes 8:12.
There is a vanity that takes place on earth, that there are righteous people who are treated according to the conduct of the wicked, and there are wicked people who are treated according to the conduct of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity. Ecclesiastes 8:14.
Everything that confronts them is vanity, since the same fate comes to all, to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to those who sacrifice and those who do not sacrifice. Ecclesiastes 9:2. Amen.
