Sometimes people are not immediately punished

for the bad things they do.

Their punishment is slow to come, and that makes

other people want to do bad things too.

Ecclesiastes 8:11 (Easy-to-Read Version)

When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out,

people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.

Ecclesiastes 8:11 (Today's New International Version)

Slås der ikke ned på forbryderen STRAKS,

er det en indirekte opfordring til at

følge hans eksempel.

(Præd. 8,11)
