Ecclesiastes 3:16-18
New Century Version
Unfairness on Earth
16 I also saw this here on earth:
Where there should have been justice, there was evil;
where there should have been right, there was wrong.
17 I said to myself,
God has planned a time for every thing and every action,
so he will judge both good people and bad.
18 I decided that God leaves it the way it is to test people and to show them they are just like animals.

Ecclesiastes 3:16-18
New International Version
16 And I saw something else under the sun:
In the place of judgment—wickedness was there,
in the place of justice—wickedness was there.
17 I said to myself,
“God will bring into judgment(A)
both the righteous and the wicked,
for there will be a time for every activity,
a time to judge every deed.”(B)
18 I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals.(C)
