Ecclesiastes 3:16-18

¹⁶I have seen the wickedness that is under the sun, where there should be justice, and in place of righteousness, wickedness was there.

¹⁷I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked at the right time for every matter and every deed.”

¹⁸I said in my heart, “God tests human beings to show them that they are like animals.”
