Ecclesiastes 8:10-12
Evangelical Heritage Version
10 While doing this, I have seen wicked people buried. They had come and gone from the holy place, and they were praised[a] in the city where they had done so! This too is vapor.
11 When the sentence for a crime is not carried out quickly, people’s hearts are emboldened to do evil.
12 Though a sinner commits a hundred crimes and lives for a long time,[b] I nevertheless know that it will turn out well for those who fear God, who stand in awe before him.
