Ecclesiastes 8:9-10
English Standard Version
9 (A)All this I observed while applying my heart to all that is done under the sun, when man had power over man to his hurt.
Those Who Fear God Will Do Well
10 Then I saw the wicked buried. They used to go in and out of (B)the holy place and were (C)praised[a] in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity.[b]
