Ecclesiastes 8:10-12

10SoH3651 then, I have seenH7200 the wickedH7563 buriedH6912, those who used to goH935 in and out from the holyH6918 placeH4725, and they are 1soon forgottenH7911 in the cityH5892 whereH834 they didH6213 thusH3651. ThisH2088 tooH1571 is futilityH1892.

11BecauseH834 the 2sentenceH6599 against an evilH7451 deedH4639 is not executedH6213 quicklyH4120, thereforeH5921H3651 3the heartsH3820 of the sonsH1121 of menH120 among them are givenH4390 fullyH4390 to doH6213 evilH7451.

12AlthoughH834 a sinnerH2398 doesH6213 evilH7451 a hundredH3967 times and may 4lengthenH748 his life, stillH3588H1571 I knowH3045 that it will be 5wellH2896 for those who fearH3372 GodH430, whoH834 fearH3372 6Him openlyH4480H6440.
