Ecclesiastes 8:12 in Context — Ecclesiastes 8
10 Esto vi también: que los impíos sepultados vinieron aún [en memoria]; mas los que partieron del lugar santo, fueron luego puestos en olvido en la ciudad donde con rectitud habían obrado. Esto también es vanidad.
11 Porque no se ejecuta luego sentencia sobre la mala obra, el corazón de los hijos de los hombres está en ellos lleno para hacer mal.
12 Bien que el pecador haga mal cien veces, y le sea dilatado [el castigo], con todo yo también sé que los que á Dios temen tendrán bien, los que temieren ante su presencia;
13 Y que el impío no tendrá bien, ni le serán prolongados los días, [que son] como sombra; por cuanto no temió delante de la presencia de Dios.
14 Hay vanidad que se hace sobre la tierra: que hay justos á quienes sucede como [si hicieran] obras de impíos; y hay impíos á quienes acaece como [si hicieran] obras de justos. Digo que esto también es vanidad.
