Verse 14

There is{H3426} a vanity{H1892} which is done{H6213}{(H8738)} upon the earth{H776}; that there be just{H6662} men, unto whom it happeneth{H5060}{(H8688)} according to the work{H4639} of the wicked{H7563}; again, there be{H3426} wicked{H7563} men, to whom it happeneth{H5060}{(H8688)} according to the work{H4639} of the righteous{H6662}: I said{H559}{(H8804)} that this also{H1571} is vanity{H1892}.
