Ecclesiastes 8:9-11

International Children’s Bible

Justice, Rewards and Punishment

⁹ I saw all of this as I studied. I considered all that is done here on earth. And I saw men rule others and hurt them. ¹⁰ I saw evil people being buried. They used to go in and out of the holy place. Good things were said about them in the same towns where they had done evil. This is senseless, too.

¹¹ Sometimes people are not punished right away for the bad things they do. That makes other people want to do bad things, too.
