Ecclesiastes 8:9-11
Good News Translation
The Wicked and the Righteous
9 I saw all this when I thought about the things that are done in this world, a world where some people have power and others have to suffer under them. 10 Yes, I have seen the wicked buried and in their graves, but on the way back from the cemetery people praise them in the very city where they did their evil.[a] It is useless.
11 Why do people commit crimes so readily? Because crime is not punished quickly enough.
