NIV

11 Forsooth for the sentence is not brought forth soon against evil men, the sons of men do evils without any dread. (But because the punishment is not brought forth quickly against evil people, the sons and daughters of men do evil without any fear.)
11 When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.
