'Praised' in the Bible

So I congratulated and thought more fortunate are those who are already dead than the living who are still living.

So then, I have seen the wicked buried, those who used to go in and out of the holy place [but did not thereby escape their doom], and they are [praised in spite of their evil and] soon forgotten in the city where they did such things. This too is futility (vanity, emptiness).
