American King James Version
"Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. ¶ "
— Ecclesiastes 8:11, American King James Version
“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”
“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. ”
“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”
“When a sentence is not executed at once against a crime, the human heart is encouraged to do evil.”
“For because sentence is not speedily pronounced against the evil, the children of men commit evils without any fear.”
“Because punishment for an evil work comes not quickly, the minds of the sons of men are fully given to doing evil.”
“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”
There is no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither has he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
All this have I seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man rules over another to his own hurt.
And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. ¶
Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:
But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he fears not before God.
There is a vanity which is done on the earth; that there be just men, to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
