| King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. | 16 And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment--wickedness was there, in the place of justice--wickedness was there. |
| 17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. | 17 I thought in my heart, "God will bring to judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time for every deed." |
