Ecclesiastes 8:9

6 For every purpose there is a time and a decision, because the sorrow of man is great in him.

7 No one is certain what is to be, and who is able to say to him when it will be?

8 No man has authority over the wind, to keep the wind; or is ruler over the day of his death. In war no man's time is free, and evil will not keep the sinner safe.

9 All this have I seen, and have given my heart to all the work which is done under the sun: there is a time when man has power over man for his destruction.

10 And then I saw evil men put to rest, taken even from the holy place; and they went about and were praised in the town because of what they had done. This again is to no purpose.

11 Because punishment for an evil work comes not quickly, the minds of the sons of men are fully given to doing evil.

12 Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and his life is long, I am certain that it will be well for those who go in fear of God and are in fear before him.
