Ecclesiastes 8:12
Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:
KJV
Attamen peccator ex eo quod centies facit malum, et per patientiam sustentatur ; ego cognovi quod erit bonum timentibus Deum, qui verentur faciem ejus.
Vulgate
ὃς ἥμαρτεν, ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἀπὸ τότε καὶ ἀπὸ μακρότητος αὐτῶν· ὅτι καί γε γινώσκω ἐγὼ ὅτι ἐστὶν ἀγαθὸν τοῖς φοβουμένοις τὸν θεόν, ὅπως φοβῶνται ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ·
LXX
Though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and prolong his days, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, that fear before him:
