Ecclesiastes 8:10-12
Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 In such circumstances, I saw the wicked buried. They came and went from the holy place,(A) and they were praised[a] in the city where they did so. This too is futile. 11 Because the sentence against a criminal act is not carried out quickly,(B) the heart of people is filled with the desire to commit crime. 12 Although a sinner commits crime a hundred times and prolongs his life,(C) yet I also know that it will go well with God-fearing people,(D) for they are reverent before Him.
