NASB
"But it will not be well for the evil man and he will not lengthen his days like a shadow, because he does not fear God."
— Ecclesiastes 8:13, NASB
“But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.”
“but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God. ”

“But it will not be well for the evil-doer; he will not make his days long like a shade, because he has no fear before God.”
“But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.”

But it will not be well for the evil man and he will not lengthen his days like a shadow, because he does not fear God.

So I commended pleasure, for there is nothing good for a man under the sun except to eat and to drink and to be merry, and this will stand by him in his toils throughout the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.
