Ecclesiastes8:12

Previous Verse Next Verse

Translation

Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and yet his days are prolonged, I know for sure that it will be better for those who fear ELOHIM, for those who are fearful before Him.

Paraphrase

Even though a sinner may sin a great deal and yet he is not punished right away for his sins, I am still confident that it will go better for the one who lives in proper fear of what THE CREATOR AND RULER OF ALL THINGS can do to him, i.e. the one who always shows proper fear of punishment because, in a way, we are always in God’s presence.
