Ecclesiastes 8:10-12

10I have seen wicked people buried with honor. Yet they were the very ones who frequented the Temple and are now praised in the same city where they committed their crimes! This, too, is meaningless.

11When a crime is not punished quickly, people feel it is safe to do wrong.

12But even though a person sins a hundred times and still lives a long time, I know that those who fear God will be better off.
