Ecclesiastes 8:10-14 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

10. And so I saw the wrong ones buried, and they came and went from the place of set-apartness, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done. That too is futile.

11. Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is filled in them to do evil.

12. Although a sinner is doing evil a hundred times, and his life is prolonged, yet I know that there is good to those who fear Elohim, who fear before Him.

13. But it shall not be well with the wrong one, nor would he prolong his days as a shadow, because he does not fear before Elohim.

14. There is a futility which has been done on earth, that there are righteous ones who get according to the deeds of the wrong. And there are wrong ones who get according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this too is futile.
