אֲשֶׁ֣ר חֹטֶ֗א עֹשֶׂ֥ה רָ֛ע מְאַ֖ת וּמַאֲרִ֣יךְ ל֑וֹ כִּ֚י גַּם־יוֹדֵ֣עַ אָ֔נִי אֲשֶׁ֤ר יִהְיֶה־טּוֹב֙ לְיִרְאֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִֽירְא֖וּ מִלְּפָנָֽיו׃
Kahit na ang makasalanan ay gumagawa ng masama nang makasandaang ulit at pinahahaba pa ang kanyang buhay, gayunman ay nalalaman ko rin na mapapabuti ang mga may takot sa Diyos, ang mga natatakot sa Kanyang harapan.

“Who sinned” [8:12]. Therefore, since the evildoer sees that the Holy One waits a hundred years for the sinner, he continues to do evil. Similarly, I know that the Holy One will pay a just reward to the righteous for their deeds and to the evildoers for their deeds. No good will come to the evildoer, because he did not fear God.118Rashi, Ecclesiastes, 8:12.
Rashi
Though a sinner, etc. Because they see that the sinner does evil a hundred thousand and myriads [of times], and the Holy One, Blessed Is He, grants him an extension without meting out retribution.24As Iyov [24:12] complained, “From the city people groan, and the souls of the slain cry out; yet God does not impute it for unseemliness.” (Metsudas Dovid)
Rashi
A hundred times. This is an ellipsis,25I.e., the omission of a word or words necessary for complete construction but understood in the context. and it is connected to [the words] preceding it, meaning, a hundred days, a hundred years, a hundred thousand. And similarly, [what Scripture states], “and drunk וּשְׁכֻרַת,”26Yeshayahu 51:21. is an ellipsis, and it is missing drunk “from wrath” but not from wine, like other drunkenness.
Rashi
Nevertheless I know. For despite all this, that He does not rush to mete retribution upon the wicked to make a distinction, between the righteous and the wicked, I know that each one will ultimately receive his due, and that those who fear Him will fare well.
