All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongs his life in his wickedness.

And this also is a great evil, that just as he came, so shall he go: and what profit has he who has labored for the wind?

For there is not a just man upon earth, that does good, and sins not.

There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there are just men, unto whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men, to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
