Ecclesiastes 8:13

English Standard Version

13 But it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God. (Job 14:2; Ec 6:12; Isa 3:11) 

New International Version

13 Yet because the wicked do not fear God, it will not go well with them, and their days will not lengthen like a shadow. 

New International Reader’s Version

13 Sinful people don’t respect God. So things won’t go well with them. Like a shadow, they won’t be around very long. 

King James Version

13 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.
