Ecclesiastes 3:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ I also saw this ·here on earth [^Lunder the sun; 1:3]:
·Where there should have been justice [^LThe place of judgment], there was evil;
    ·where there should have been right [^Lthe place of righteousness; ^Cthe courtroom], there was evil.
¹⁷ I said ·to myself [^Lin my heart],
·God has planned [^LThere is] a time for every ·thing [activity] and every action,
so he will judge both ·good people and bad [the righteous and the evil/wicked].
