Jehovah promises that “although a sinner may be doing bad a hundred times and continuing a long time as he pleases, yet I am also aware that it will turn out well with those fearing the true God, because they were in fear of him. But it will not turn out well at all with the wicked one, neither will he prolong his days that are like a shadow, because he is not in fear of God. ” ​ — Ecclesiastes 8: 12, 13.
Jehoova tõotab: „Ehk küll patune teeb sada korda kurja ja pikendab oma päevi, tean ma siiski, et neil, kes Jumalat kardavad, käib käsi hästi, sellepärast et nad tema palet kardavad, kuna õela käsi ei käi hästi ja tema ei pikenda oma varjusarnaseid päevi, sellepärast et ta Jumala palet ei karda. ” — Koguja 8: 12, 13.
