Ecclesiastes 8:12-14
Contemporary English Version

12 They commit hundreds of crimes and live a long time, in spite of the saying:

Everyone who lives right
and respects God
    will prosper,
13 but no one who sins
    and rejects God
will prosper or live very long.

14 There is something else that doesn't make sense to me. Good citizens are treated as criminals, while criminals are honored as though they were good citizens.
