Ecclesiastes 8:12
Thomson 1808
He who sinned continued thenceforward to do evil, even because of the forbearance shewn to them. Now as I know that it is good for them who fear God, that they should be awed by His presence;
Brenton 1851
He that has sinned has done evil from that time, and long from beforehand: nevertheless I know, that it is well with them that fear God, that they may fear before him:
Greek · Brenton
Ὃς ἥμαρτεν ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἀπὸ τότε καὶ ἀπὸ μακρότητος αὐτῶν· ὅτι καὶ γινώσκω ἐγὼ, ὅτι ἐστὶν ἀγαθὸν τοῖς φοβουμένοις τὸν Θεὸν, ὅπως φοβῶνται ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ·
