Ecclesiastes 8:13-15

Living Bible

¹³ unlike the wicked, who will not live long, good lives—their days shall pass away as quickly as shadows because they don’t fear God.

¹⁴ There is a strange thing happening here upon the earth: Providence seems to treat some good men as though they were wicked, and some wicked men as though they were good. This is all very vexing and troublesome!

¹⁵ Then I decided to spend my time having fun because I felt that there was nothing better in all the earth than that a man should eat, drink, and be merry, with the hope that this happiness would stick with him in all the hard work that God gives to mankind everywhere.
