Ecclesiastes 8:9-11

⁹All this have I seen, and I have given heed to all things that are done under the sun. There is a time when man ruleth over man to his hurt.

¹⁰And so I saw the wicked buried, while the righteous came and went from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city. This also is vanity.

¹¹Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore doth the heart of the sons of men become bold within them to do evil.
