There is a time in which one man has power over another to his hurt. 10 So I saw the wicked buried. Indeed they came also from holiness. They went and were forgotten in the city where they did this. This also is vanity. 11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

When will you arise out of your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep: 11 So your poverty will come as a robber, And your scarcity as an armed man. 12 A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he who walks with a perverse mouth; 13 Who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, Who motions with his fingers; 14 In whose heart is perverseness, Who devises evil continually, Who always sows discord. 15 Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy. 16 There are six things which Yahweh hates; Yes, seven which are an abomination to him: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood; 18 A heart that devises wicked schemes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness who utters lies, And he who sows discord among brothers.

This also is vanity and a striving after wind. 5 The fool folds his hands together and ruins himself. 6 Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with labor and chasing after wind. 7 Then I returned and saw vanity under the sun. 8 There is one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth. For whom then, do I labor, and deprive my soul of enjoyment? This also is vanity, yes, it is a miserable business.
  • Eccl 7:15 : 15 All this have I seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in his evil-doing.
