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.

ecclesiastes 7:15 I have seen everything during my lifetime of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs [his life] in his wickedness.

15. An objection entertained by Solomon
in the days of his vanity--his apostasy (Ec 8:14; Job 21:7).
just . . . perisheth-- (1Ki 21:13). Temporal not eternal death (Joh 10:28). But see on Ec 7:16; "just" is probably a self-justiciary.
wicked . . . prolongeth--See the antidote to the abuse of this statement in Ec 8:12.

ecclesiastes 7:15 I have seen everything during my lifetime of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs [his life] in his wickedness.
