Ecclesiastes 8:13-15

English Standard Version

¹³ But it will ^(A)not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like ^(B)a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

Man Cannot Know God's Ways

¹⁴ There is a vanity that takes place on earth, that there are righteous people ^(C)to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked, and there are wicked people ^(D)to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity. ¹⁵ And I commend joy, for man ^(E)has nothing better under the sun but to ^(F)eat and drink and be joyful, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of his life that God has given him under the sun.
