Ecclesiastes 8:9-11

⁹All this I have seen, applying my mind to every deed that is done under the sun; there is a time when one man lords it over another to his own detriment.

¹⁰Then too, I saw the burial of the wicked who used to go in and out of the holy place, and they were praised in the city where they had done so. This too is futile.

¹¹When the sentence for a crime is not speedily executed, the hearts of men become fully set on doing evil.
