11 Whenever a sentence for a crime is not carried out swiftly, the human mind becomes determined to commit evil.

12 Even though a sinner does what is wrong a hundred times and still survives, nevertheless I also know that things will go well for those who fear God, who fear in his presence.

13 But things will not go well for the wicked person: he will not lengthen his life like a shadow, since he has no fear before God.
