Ecclesiastes 8:9-11

Eccl.8.9-Eccl.8.11

9All this I observed while applying my heart to all that is done under the sun, when man had power over man to his hurt. 10Then I saw the wicked buried. They used to go in and out of the holy place and were praised in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity. 11Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.
