Ecclesiastes 2:14-16
The wise man’s eyes are in his head, But the fool walks in darkness. Yet I myself perceived That the same event happens to them all.So I said in my heart,“ As it happens to the fool, It also happens to me, And why was I then more wise?” Then I said in my heart,“ This also is vanity.”For there is no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever, Since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come. And how does a wise man die? As the fool!

Joshua 2:17-20
So the men said to her:“ We will be blameless of this oath of yours which you have made us swear,unless, when we come into the land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household to your own home.So it shall be that whoever goes outside the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we will be guiltless. And whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him.And if you tell this business of ours, then we will be free from your oath which you made us swear.”

Ecclesiastes 7:18
It is good that you grasp this, And also not remove your hand from the other; For he who fears God will escape them all.
-
Ecclesiastes 8:12-14
Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.There is a vanity which occurs on earth, that there are just men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.
-
Ecclesiastes 2:26
For God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in His sight; but to the sinner He gives the work of gathering and collecting, that he may give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

Then he said to me,“ This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth:‘ Every thief shall be expelled,’ according to this side of the scroll; and,‘ Every perjurer shall be expelled,’ according to that side of it.”“ I will send out the curse,” says the Lord of hosts;“ It shall enter the house of the thief And the house of the one who swears falsely by My name. It shall remain in the midst of his house And consume it, with its timber and stones.”

Job 21:7-34
Why do the wicked live and become old, Yes, become mighty in power?Their descendants are established with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes.Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God upon them.Their bull breeds without failure; Their cow calves without miscarriage.They send forth their little ones like a flock, And their children dance.They sing to the tambourine and harp, And rejoice to the sound of the flute.They spend their days in wealth, And in a moment go down to the grave.Yet they say to God,‘ Depart from us, For we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways.Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? And what profit do we have if we pray to Him?’Indeed their prosperity is not in their hand; The counsel of the wicked is far from me.“ How often is the lamp of the wicked put out? How often does their destruction come upon them, The sorrows God distributes in His anger?They are like straw before the wind, And like chaff that a storm carries away.They say,‘ God lays up one’s iniquity for his children’; Let Him recompense him, that he may know it.Let his eyes see his destruction, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.For what does he care about his household after him, When the number of his months is cut in half?“ Can anyone teach God knowledge, Since He judges those on high?One dies in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and secure;His pails are full of milk, And the marrow of his bones is moist.Another man dies in the bitterness of his soul, Never having eaten with pleasure.They lie down alike in the dust, And worms cover them.“ Look, I know your thoughts, And the schemes with which you would wrong me.For you say,‘ Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent, The dwelling place of the wicked?’Have you not asked those who travel the road? And do you not know their signs?For the wicked are reserved for the day of doom; They shall be brought out on the day of wrath.Who condemns his way to his face? And who repays him for what he has done?Yet he shall be brought to the grave, And a vigil kept over the tomb.The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him; Everyone shall follow him, As countless have gone before him.How then can you comfort me with empty words, Since falsehood remains in your answers?”

Ezekiel 17:18-19
