Ecclesiastes 8:10-12

New American Standard Bible

¹⁰ So then, I have seen the wicked buried, those who used to go in and out of the holy place, and they are ^(A)soon forgotten in the city where they did such things. This too is futility. ¹¹ Because the ^(B)sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore ^(C)the hearts of the sons of mankind among them are ^[a]fully given to do evil. ¹² Although a sinner does evil a hundred times and may ^(D)lengthen his life, still I know that it will go ^(E)well for those who fear God, who fear ^[b]Him openly.
