Ecclesiastes 3:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶Moreover I saw what was under the sun:

In the place of justice, there was wickedness;
and in the place of righteousness, there was wickedness.

¹⁷I thought in my heart:

God will bring judgment
to the righteous and the wicked,
for there is an appropriate time
for every matter and deed.

¹⁸Then I thought in my heart: Regarding the account of sons of men, God is making clear to them to show that they are but animals.
