[8] No man has power to retain the spirit, or authority over the day of death; there is no discharge from war, nor will wickedness deliver those who are given to it.
[9] All this I observed while applying my mind to all that is done under the sun, while man lords it over man to his hurt.
[10] Then I saw the wicked buried; they used to go in and out of the holy place, and were praised in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity.
[11] Because sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the sons of men is fully set to do evil.
