Ecclesiastes 8:10-12

10So then, I have seen the wicked buried, those who used to go in and out from the holy place, and they are 1soon forgotten in the city where they did thus. This too is futility.

11Because the 2sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore 3the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil.

12Although a sinner does evil a hundred times and may 4lengthen his life, still I know that it will be 5well for those who fear God, who fear 6Him openly.
