Ecclesiastes 8:9-13
9All this have I seenH7200, and appliedH5414 my heartH3820 unto every workH4639 that is doneH6213 under the sunH8121: there is a timeH6256 wherein one manH120 rulethH7980 over another to his own hurtH7451. 10And soH3651 I sawH7200 the wickedH7563 buriedH6912, who had comeH935 and goneH1980 from the placeH4725 of the holyH6918, and they were forgottenH7911 in the cityH5892 where they had so doneH6213: this is also vanityH1892. 11Because sentenceH6599 against an evilH7451 workH4639 is not executedH6213 speedilyH4120, therefore the heartH3820 of the sonsH1121 of menH120 is fully setH4390 in them to doH6213 evilH7451.
12Though a sinnerH2398 doH6213 evilH7451 an hundred timesH3967, and his days be prolongedH748, yet surely I knowH3045 that it shall be wellH2896 with them that fearH3373 GodH430, which fearH3372 beforeH6440 him: 13But it shall not be wellH2896 with the wickedH7563, neither shall he prolongH748 his daysH3117, which are as a shadowH6738; because he fearethH3373 not beforeH6440 GodH430.
