Ecclesiastes 8:10-12
10So then, I have seen the wicked buried, those who used to go in and out of the holy place, and they are 1soon forgotten in the city where they did such things. This too is futility.
11Because the 2sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore 3the hearts of the sons of mankind among them are 4fully given to do evil.
12Although a sinner does evil a hundred times and may 5lengthen his life, still I know that it will go 6well for those who fear God, who fear 7Him openly.
