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

15 I have seen it all during my pointless life: both a righteous person who dies while he is righteous, and a wicked person who lives to an old age, while remaining wicked. 16 Do not be overly righteous, nor be overly wise. Why be self-destructive? 17 Do not excel at wickedness, nor be a fool. Why die before your time? 18 It is good for you to grab hold of this and not let go, because whoever fears God will escape all of these extremes.
