Ecclesiastes 8:9-11

Revised Geneva Translation

⁹ All this have I seen and have given my heart to every work which is wrought under the Sun. And I saw a time that man rules over man to his own hurt.

¹⁰ And likewise I saw the wicked buried, and they returned. And those who came from the holy place were still forgotten in the city where they had done right. This also is vanity.

¹¹ Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily. Therefore, the heart of the children of men is fully set in them to do evil.
