Ecclesiastes / Question
Question source
Ecclesiastes
Ecclesiastes says that when a sentence against an evil work is not carried out quickly, “the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil” (Ecclesiastes 8:11). The Teacher notes this as part of the puzzle of wickedness seeming to prosper in the present (Ecclesiastes 8:10–12).
11Because 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.
