Ecclesiastes 8:9-14

⁹All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time when man ruleth man to his hurt.

¹⁰And I have also seen the wicked buried and going away; and such as had acted rightly 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 the heart of the children of men is fully set in them to do evil.

¹²Though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and prolong his days, yet I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, because they fear before him;

¹³but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days as a shadow, because he feareth not before God.

¹⁴There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there are righteous men unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; and there are wicked men to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.
