Ecclesiastes 7:15

אֶת הַכֹּ֥ל רָאִ֖יתִי בִּימֵ֣י הֶבְלִ֑י יֵ֣שׁ צַדִּ֗יק אֹבֵד֙ בְּצִדְק֔וֹ וְיֵ֣שׁ רָשָׁ֔ע מַאֲרִ֖יךְ בְּרָעָתֽוֹ׃
ʾet hakol raʾiytiy biymey hebliy yesh ṣadiyq ʾobed bṣidqvo vyesh rashaʿ maʾariyk braʿatvo
King James Version (KJV)

All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.

Modern English

In my vain life I have seen everything. There is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing.
