Ecclesiastes 8:10-15
10And I have also seen the wicked buried and going away; and such as had acted rightly went from [the] holy place, and were forgotten in the city. This also is vanity.
11Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the children of men is fully set in them to do evil.
12Though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and prolong his [days], yet I know that it shall be well with them that fear 1God, because they fear before him;
13but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong [his] days as a shadow, because he feareth not before 2God.
14There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there are righteous [men] unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; and there are wicked [men] to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.
15And I commended mirth, because there is nothing better for man under the sun than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry; for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which 3God hath given him under the sun.
