Chapter 7 verse 15 I have seen everything in the days of my mortality. There are righteous people who perish despite their righteousness and there are sinners who carry on for long with their wicked ways. Basically you cannot fathom all the different things that happen in life as we can not understand what God's purpose is here .

— from Takeoff Into Chaos · Ecclesiastes by King Solomon

In the book

He admitted the part we least want to hear — that the race is not always won by the swift, nor the battle by the strong, nor bread by the wise, for time and chance happen to them all, and that in the end the same fate befalls everyone alike, the righteous and the wicked together. He had watched good people perish in their goodness and bad ones prosper for years; he watched a man labor his whole life only to hand the results to a successor he never chose, and caught the smaller daily ironies too — that the laborer sleeps sweetly whether he eats little or much, while the very abundance of the rich man will not let him rest. Even the wisdom we inherit was carried down out of chaos, each generation's teaching first set down in the turbulence of its own age. — Takeoff Into Chaos
