Ecclesiastes 8:9-11
Evangelical Heritage Version
Life Is Not Fair
9 All this I saw while I was applying my heart to every work done under the sun, during this time when one man has power over another to harm him.[a] 10 While doing this, I have seen wicked people buried. They had come and gone from the holy place, and they were praised[b] in the city where they had done so! This too is vapor.
11 When the sentence for a crime is not carried out quickly, people’s hearts are emboldened to do evil.
