Ecclesiastes 7:15
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.
KJV
In die bona fruere bonis, et malam diem præcave ; sicut enim hanc, sic et illam fecit Deus, ut non inveniat homo contra eum justas querimonias.
Vulgate
ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἀγαθωσύνης ζῆθι ἐν ἀγαθῷ, καὶ ἴδε ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κακίας. ἴδε καί γε σὺν τούτῳ συμφώνως τοῦτο ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς περὶ λαλιᾶς, ἵνα μὴ εὕρῃ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ οὐδέν.
LXX
All this have I seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his evil-doing.
