New International Version (NIV)

17I said to myself,

“God will bring into judgment

both the righteous and the wicked,

for there will be a time for every activity,

a time to judge every deed.”

17I said to myself, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked,” for a time for every matter and for every deed is there.

17I said to myself, “God will judge both the righteous and the wicked,” for there is a time [appointed] for every matter and for every deed.

17I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked, since there is a time for every activity and every deed.”

17I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

17I thought in mine heart, God wil iudge the iust and the wicked: for time is there for euery purpose and for euery worke.

17I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.”

17I said to myself,

“God will judge

godly and sinful people alike.

He has a time for every act.

He has a time to judge everything that is done.”

17I said to myself,

‘One day, God will judge everyone,

righteous people and wicked people.

He has chosen a time for everything.

So there is a right time when he will judge people.’

17I said in my heart, “The righteous and the wicked God judges, for a time [is] to every matter and for every work there.”
