KJV - Ecclesiastes 8:14
There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
There is a thing people do on Earth where good people sometimes suffer because of the actions of bad people, and bad people sometimes suffer because of the actions of good people. I said this is pointless.
