Ecclesiastes 7:15-18 - The Law Of Retribution Does Not Always Work'But It Does Sometimes

15 Everything, had I seen, in my days of vanity, - Here was a righteous man, perishing in his righteousness, and there was a lawless man, continuing long in his wickedness. 16 Do not become so very righteous, neither count thyself wise beyond measure, - wherefore shouldst thou destroy thyself? 17 Do not be so very lawless, neither become thou foolish, - wherefore shouldst thou die, before thy time? 18 It is well that thou shouldst lay fast hold of this, but, even from the other, do not withdraw thy hand, - for, he that revereth God, shall come forth out of them all.
