Although Evil Is Not Punished Swiftly, God Does Eventually Punish Sinners
10 Meanwhile, I saw the wicked being [honorably] buried, but those who came and went from the holy place were forgotten in the city, even though they had done so. This also [is] vanity! 11 Because sentence against an evil deed is not carried out quickly, the heart of {humans} fills up within them to do evil. 12 Although the sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I also know that it will be good for those who fear God--because they fear {his presence}.
