Ecclesiastes 3:16-18
Tree of Life Version
16 I have also seen under the sun:
In the place of justice there was wickedness,
and in the place of righteousness there was wickedness.
17 I said in my heart:
“The righteous and the wicked,
God will judge.
For there is a time for every activity
and for every deed.”
Humans Same As Beasts?
18 I also said in my heart, “As for the sons of man, God tests them so that they may see that they are but animals.”

In the place of judgment—wickedness was there,

for there will be a time for every activity,
a time to judge every deed.”(B)
