Ecclesiastes 8:9-13

9All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time when man ruleth man to his hurt.

10And I have also seen the wicked buried and going away; and such as had acted rightly went from [the] holy place, and were forgotten in the city. This also is vanity.

11Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the children of men is fully set in them to do evil.

12Though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and prolong his [days], yet I know that it shall be well with them that fear 1God, because they fear before him;

13but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong [his] days as a shadow, because he feareth not before 2God.
