Ecclesiastes 8:12

Although Evil Is Not Punished Swiftly, God Does Eventually Punish Sinners

¹¹ Because sentence against a wicked work is not executed speedily - on this account, the heart of the sons of men is fully set within them, to commit wickedness. ¹² Though a sinner be committing wickedness a hundred times, and continuing long in his own way, yet I surely know that it shall be well to them who revere God, who stand in awe before him; ¹³ but, well, shall it not be to the lawless man, neither shall he lengthen out his days like a shadow, - because he standeth not in awe before God.

Evil One

Fear of God

In His Presence

Stand in Awe

With God

Fear Before Him
