Ecclesiastes 8:9-11
Christian Standard Bible
9 All this I have seen, applying my mind to all the work that is done under the sun, at a time when one person has authority over another to his harm.
10 In such circumstances, I saw the wicked buried. They came and went from the holy place,(A) and they were praised[a] in the city where they did those things. This too is futile. 11 Because the sentence against an evil act is not carried out quickly,(B) the heart of people is filled with the desire to commit evil.
