Ecclesiastes 3:16-17

CEBA

NIV

16 I saw something else under the sun: in the place of justice, there was wickedness; and in the place of what was right, there was wickedness again!
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 thought to myself, God will judge both righteous and wicked people, because there's a time for every matter and every deed.
17 I said to myself, “God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.”
