Ecclesiastes 8:10-12

English Standard Version

Those Who Fear God Will Do Well

¹⁰ Then I saw the wicked buried. They used to go in and out of ^(A)the holy place and were ^(B)praised^[a] in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity.^{[b] 11} Because ^(C)the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, ^(D)the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil. ¹² Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and ^(E)prolongs his life, yet I know that ^(F)it will be well with ^(G)those who fear God, because they fear before him.
