Solomon acknowledged that “the heart of the sons of men is full
of evil, and madness is in their heart.” Ecclesiastes 9:3. And again
he declared, “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed
speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them
to do evil. Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days
be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that [79]
fear God, which fear before Him: but it shall not be well with the
wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow;
because he feareth not before God.” Ecclesiastes 8:11-13.
