Ecclesiastes 8:12–14

Ecclesiastes 8:12–143 matched frames

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 12a Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged,
- B 12b yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God,
  - C 12c which fear before him:
- B' 13a But it shall not be well with the wicked,
A' 13b neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.

A 14a There is a vanity which is done upon the earth;
- B 14b that there be just men,
  - C 14c unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked;
  - C' 14d again, there be wicked men,
- B' 14e to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous:
A' 14f I said that this also is vanity.
