Even though a person sins and gets by with it hundreds of times throughout a long life,
I’m still convinced that the good life is reserved for the person who fears God, who lives reverently in his presence, and that the evil person will not experience a “good” life.
No matter how many days he lives, they’ll all be as flat and colorless as a shadow—because he doesn’t fear God.
Ecclesiastes 8:12-13 (The Message)
