“Because a sentence for an evil deed is not executed swiftly, therefore the heart of the sons of man dares to do evil” (Ecclesiastes 8:11). “Because a sentence…is not executed” – because a person sins and the attribute of justice does not afflict him, “therefore [the heart of the sons of man] dares” – what do they say? The arrogant ones enter, the arrogant ones exit, and they pay no price.
