Ecclesiastes 8:10-12

10I also saw that some wicked people receive honour after their death. Those wicked people had gone in and out of the holy place. People praised them in the city where they had done evil things. This also is difficult to understand.

11People who are guilty should receive their punishment quickly. If that does not happen, other people also want to do evil things.

12People who do lots of wicked things may live for a long time. But if someone respects and obeys God, they will surely enjoy a good life.
