Ecclesiastes 8:12-14
Legacy Standard Bible
12 Although a sinner does evil a hundred times and may (A)prolong his life, still I know that it will be (B)well for those who fear God, who fear [a]Him openly. 13 But it will (C)not be well for the wicked man, and he will not prolong his days like a (D)shadow, because he does not fear [b]God openly.
14 There is vanity which is done on the earth, that is, there are (E)righteous men to whom it [c]happens according to the works of the wicked. On the other hand, there are (F)wicked men to whom it [d]happens according to the works of the righteous. I say that this too is vanity.
