  • Eccl 8:9-9 : 9 I observed all this as I considered all the work done under the sun: a time when one man has power over another to hurt them. 10 Then I saw the wicked buried, who used to go in and out of the holy place, but now they are forgotten in the city where they acted this way. This too is meaningless. 11 When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do evil.

  • Prov 6:6-9 : 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways and be wise. 7 She has no commander, no overseer or ruler, 8 yet she prepares her food in the summer and gathers her provisions at harvest. 9 How long will you lie there, sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— 11 and poverty will come upon you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man. 12 A worthless person, a man of wickedness, walks with a corrupt mouth, 13 winking with his eyes, signaling with his feet, pointing with his fingers. 14 He plots evil with deceit in his heart; he constantly stirs up dissension. 15 Therefore his disaster will come suddenly; in an instant, he will be broken beyond healing. 16 There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19 a false witness who pours out lies, and one who stirs up conflict among brothers.

Power was on the side of their oppressors, and they had no comforter. 2 And I praised the dead who had already died, more than the living who are still alive. 3 But better than both is the one who has not yet been born, who has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun. 4 And I saw that all toil and all skill in work are driven by one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. 5 The fool folds his hands and ruins himself. 6 Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind. 7 Again, I turned and saw meaninglessness under the sun. 8 There was a man all alone. He had no son or brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth. 'For whom am I toiling,' he asked, 'and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?' This too is meaningless—a miserable business!
  • Eccl 7:15 : 15 In my fleeting life, I have seen it all: The righteous perishing in their righteousness, and the wicked living long in their wickedness.
