Ecclesiastes 8:9-13
9AllH3605 thisH2088 I have seenH7200, applyingH5414 my mindH3820 to everyH3605 deedH4639 thatH834 is doneH6213 underH8478 the sunH8121; there is a timeH6256 whenH834 one manH120 lords itH7980 over anotherH120 to his own detrimentH7451.
10Then tooH3651, I sawH7200 the burialH6912 of the wickedH7563 who used to go inH935 and outH1980 of the holyH6918 placeH4725, and they were praisedH79111 in the cityH5892 whereH834 they had doneH6213 soH3651. ThisH2088 tooH1571 is futileH1892. 11WhenH834 the sentenceH6599 for a crimeH7451H4639 is notH369 speedilyH4120 executedH6213H5921H3651, the heartsH3820 of menH1121H120 become fully setH4390 on doingH6213 evilH7451.
12AlthoughH834 a sinnerH2398 doesH6213 evilH7451 a hundredH3967 times and still lives longH748, yetH3588 IH589 alsoH1571 knowH3045 thatH834 it will goH1961 wellH2896 with those whoH834 fearH3372 GodH430, who are reverentH3373 in His presenceH6440. 13Yet becauseH834 the wicked do notH369 fearH3373H6440 GodH430, it will notH3808 goH1961 wellH2896 withH7563 them, and their daysH3117 will notH3808 lengthenH748 like a shadowH6738.
