Ecclesiastes 7:15

Next

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

All things have I seen {H7200} in the days {H3117} of my vanity {H1892}: there is {H3426} a just {H6662} man that perisheth {H6} in his righteousness {H6664}, and there is a wicked {H7563} man that prolongeth {H748} his life in his wickedness {H7451}.

In my pointless life, I've seen everything -from the righteous person perishing in his uprightness to the wicked one who lives a long life and keeps on doing wrong.

In my futile life I have seen both of these: A righteous man perishing in his righteousness, and a wicked man living long in his wickedness.

All this have I seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his evil-doing.
