Ecclesiastes 8:9-11

Modern English Version

⁹ All this I saw while applying my heart to every work that is done under the sun, when one man rules over another to the other’s hurt.

God’s Unknowable Ways

¹⁰ Then I saw the wicked buried. They used to go in and out of the holy place, and they were praised^[a] in the city where they did works. This is also vanity.

¹¹ Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed swiftly, the heart of the sons of men is fully set to do evil.
