Ecclesiastes 8:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 But it shall not be well to the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days: he shall be like a shadow, because he feareth not before God.
14 There is a vanity, which is done upon the earth, that there be righteous men to whom it cometh according to the [a]work of the wicked: and there be wicked men to whom it cometh according to the work of the just: I thought also that this is vanity.
15 And I praised joy, for there is no goodness to man under the sun, save [b]to eat and to drink and to rejoice: for this is adjoined to his labor the days of his life that God hath given him under the sun.
