Ecclesiastes 8:9-11

Legacy Standard Bible

⁹ All this I have seen and given my heart to every work that has been done under the sun wherein a man has ^(A)power over another man to his calamity.

¹⁰ So then, I have seen the wicked buried, those who used to go in and out from the holy place, and they are ^(B)soon forgotten in the city where they did thus. This too is vanity. ¹¹ Because the ^(C)sentence against an evil work is not executed quickly, therefore ^(D)the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil.
