Ecclesiastes 8:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ Sometimes people are not punished right away for the bad things they do. That makes other people want to do bad things, too. ¹² A sinner might do a hundred evil things. And he might live a long time. Even so, I know it will be better for those who honor God. They fear him, and he sees it. ¹³ And I also know it will not go well for evil people. Their lives will be like a brief shadow. They will not live very long.
