Ecclesiastes 8:12-14

English Standard Version

¹² Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and ^(A)prolongs his life, yet I know that ^(B)it will be well with ^(C)those who fear God, because they fear before him. ¹³ But it will ^(D)not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like ^(E)a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

Man Cannot Know God's Ways

¹⁴ There is a vanity that takes place on earth, that there are righteous people ^(F)to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked, and there are wicked people ^(G)to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.
