Ecclesiastes 8:11-13

View Full Chapter

11When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong. 12Although a wicked person who commits a hundred crimes may live a long time, I know that it will go better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.

13Yet because the wicked do not fear God, it will not go well with them, and their days will not lengthen like a shadow.
