OET (OET-RV) I’ve seen wicked people being buried— ⇔ being carried out from a sacred place, ⇔ and what they’d done there in the city was just forgotten. ⇔ That’s also pointless.

OET-LV And_in_such I _have _seen wicked_people being _buried and_they _came and_from_a _place _of holy they _went and_they _will _be _forgotten in_city where right they _had _done also this is_futility.

ULT ⇔  And then, I saw wicked people buried, and they entered, and, from a place of holiness, they went. And they were praised in the city where thus they had done. This also, is vapor:

UST ⇔  Moreover, I observed the public honor that people gave to wicked people at their funerals after they had died. I had daily witnessed these wicked people going in and out of the sacred places where people worship God, and, ironically, rather than suffering punishment, people in the city praised them for their behavior! Yet, even this, and two other realities, are only temporary, as fleeting and insubstantial as the fading mist of my breath.

BSB & MSB Then too, I saw the burial of the wicked who used to go in and out of the holy place, and they were praised[fn] in the city where they had done so. This too is futile.
