Ecclesiastes 7:15

All things have I seen All sort's of events, both such as have been already mentioned, and such as I am about to declare. In the days of my vanity Since I have come into this vain life. A just man perisheth in his righteousness Notwithstanding his righteousness; whom his righteousness does not deliver in common calamities, or, for his righteousness, which exposes him to the envy, anger, or hatred of wicked men. And a wicked man prolongeth his life, &c. Not withstanding all his wickedness, whereby he provokes and deserves the justice and wrath both of God and men; and yet for many wise and just reasons he is permitted to live long unpunished and secure.
