Ecclesiastes 8:10-12

10SoH3651 then, I have seenH7200 the wickedH7563 buriedH6912, those who used to goH935 inH935 and out of the holyH6918 placeH4725, and they are 1soon forgottenH7911 in the cityH5892 whereH834 they didH6213 suchH3651 thingsH3651. ThisH2088 tooH1571 is futilityH1892.

11BecauseH834 the 2sentenceH6599 against an evilH7451 deedH4639 is not executedH6213 quicklyH4120, thereforeH5921H3651 3the heartsH3820 of the sonsH1121 of mankindH120 among them are 4fullyH4390 givenH4390 to doH6213 evilH7451.

12AlthoughH834 a sinnerH2398 doesH6213 evilH7451 a hundredH3967 times and may 5lengthenH748 his life, stillH3588H1571 I knowH3045 that it will goH1961 6wellH2896 for those who fearH3372 GodH430, whoH834 fearH3372 7Him openlyH4480H6440.
