Ecclesiastes 8:11-12

11Because athe sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, bthe heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil. 12Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and cprolongs his life, yet I know that dit will be well with ethose who fear God, because they fear before him.

Isaiah 18:5

5 fFor before the harvest, when the blossom is over,
and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
he cuts off the shoots with pruning hooks,
and the spreading branches he lops off and clears away.
