Ecclesiastes 3:16
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Furthermore, I saw under the sun that in the place of judgment there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness.
In context
14 I know that everything God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God does it so that they should fear Him.
15 What exists has already been, and what will be has already been, for God will call to account what has passed.
16 Furthermore, I saw under the sun that in the place of judgment there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness.
17 I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked, since there is a time for every activity and every deed.”
18 I said to myself, “As for the sons of men, God tests them so that they may see for themselves that they are but beasts.”
