Ecclesiastes 8:11-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
11
Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of mankind among them are fully given to do evil.
12
Although a sinner does evil a hundred
times
and may lengthen his
life,
still I know that it will go well for those who fear God, who fear Him openly.
13
But it will not go well for the evil person and he will not lengthen his days like a shadow, because he does not fear God.
14
There is futility which is done on the earth, that is, there are righteous people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked. On the other hand, there are evil people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I say that this too is futility.
King James Version
Chapter 8
11
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.
12
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:
13
But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.
14
There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
11
Because the sentence against an evil act is not carried out quickly, the heart of people is filled with the desire to commit evil.
12
Although a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, I also know that it will go well with God-fearing people, for they are reverent before him.
13
However, it will not go well with the wicked, and they will not lengthen their days like a shadow, for they are not reverent before God.
14
There is a futility that is done on the earth: there are righteous people who get what the actions of the wicked deserve, and there are wicked people who get what the actions of the righteous deserve. I say that this too is futile.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
11
When a crime is not punished quickly, people feel it is safe to do wrong.
12
But even though a person sins a hundred times and still lives a long time, I know that those who fear God will be better off.
13
The wicked will not prosper, for they do not fear God. Their days will never grow long like the evening shadows.
14
And this is not all that is meaningless in our world. In this life, good people are often treated as though they were wicked, and wicked people are often treated as though they were good. This is so meaningless!
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
11
Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.
12
Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him.
13
But it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.
14
There is a vanity that takes place on earth, that there are righteous people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked, and there are wicked people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.
New International Version
Chapter 8
11
When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.
12
Although a wicked person who commits a hundred crimes may live a long time, I know that it will go better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.
13
Yet because the wicked do not fear God, it will not go well with them, and their days will not lengthen like a shadow.
14
There is something else meaningless that occurs on earth: the righteous who get what the wicked deserve, and the wicked who get what the righteous deserve. This too, I say, is meaningless.
New King James Version
Chapter 8
11
Because the 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.
12
Though a sinner does evil a hundred
times,
and his
days
are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.
13
But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong
his
days,
which are
as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.
14
There is a vanity which occurs on earth, that there are just
men
to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked
men
to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also
is
vanity.
