Ecclesiastes 8:10-15

10And I have alsoH1571 seenH7200 the wickedH7563 buriedH6912 and goingH1980 away; and such as had actedH6213 rightly wentH1980 from [the] holyH6918 placeH4725, and were forgottenH7911 in the cityH5892. This alsoH1571 is vanityH1892.

11Because sentence against an evilH7451 workH4639 is not executed speedily, thereforeH3651 the heartH3820 of the children of menH120 is fully set in them to do evilH7451.

12Though a sinnerH2398 do evilH7451 a hundredH3967 times, and prolongH748 his [days], yet I knowH3045 that it shall beH1961 wellH1571 with them that fearH3372 1GodH430, because they fearH3372 before him;

13but it shall not beH1961 well with the wickedH7563, neither shall he prolongH748 [his] daysH3117 as a shadowH6738, because he feareth not before 2GodH430.

14There is a vanityH1892 which is done upon the earthH776; that there are righteousH6662 [men] unto whom it happeneth according to the workH4639 of the wickedH7563; and there are wickedH7563 [men] to whom it happeneth according to the workH4639 of the righteousH6662. I saidH559 that this alsoH1571 is vanityH1892.

15And I commended mirth, because there is nothingH369 betterH2896 for manH120 under the sunH8121 than to eatH398, and to drinkH8354, and to be merry; for that shall abide with him of his labour the daysH3117 of his life, which 3GodH430 hath givenH5414 him under the sunH8121.
