Ecclesiastes 8:14

There is a vanity that takes place on earth , that there are righteous people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked , and there are wicked people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous . I said that this also is vanity .

There is something else meaningless that occurs on earth: the righteous who get what the wicked deserve, and the wicked who get what the righteous deserve. This too, I say, is meaningless.

There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men , unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men , to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous : I said that this also is vanity.
