Ecclesiastes 8:11-13 Because sentence against a wicked work is not executed speedily––on this account, the heart of the sons of men is fully set within them, to commit wickedness.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ Because sentence against a wicked work is not executed speedily––on this account, the heart of the sons of men is fully set within them, to commit wickedness. ¹² Though a sinner be committing wickedness a hundred times, and continuing long in his own way, yet I surely know that it shall be well to them who revere God, who stand in awe before him; ¹³ but, well, shall it not be to the lawless man, neither shall he lengthen out his days like a shadow,––because he standeth not in awe before God.
