And there is no upright person among men.

Each of them hunts the other with a net.
The righteous man perishes, and no man takes it to heart;

The one who called on God and He answered him;
The just and blameless man is a joke.

I have seen everything during my lifetime of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness.
He enters into peace;
They rest in their beds,
Each one who walked in his upright way.
You have condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not resist you.
