Ecclesiastes 7:15

15 In my vain life I have seen everything; there are righteous people who perish in their righteousness, and there are wicked people who prolong their life in their evildoing.

Ecclesiastes 7:15 In-Context

13 Consider the work of God; who can make straight what he has made crooked?
14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; God has made the one as well as the other, so that mortals may not find out anything that will come after them.
15 In my vain life I have seen everything; there are righteous people who perish in their righteousness, and there are wicked people who prolong their life in their evildoing.
16 Do not be too righteous, and do not act too wise; why should you destroy yourself?
17 Do not be too wicked, and do not be a fool; why should you die before your time?
