Ecclesiastes 8:11

The reason why the wicked persevere in sin: God's delay in judgment (Matthew 24:48-51; 2 Peter 3:8-9). "They see not the smoke of the pit, therefore they dread not the fire" [SOUTH], (Psalms 55:19). Joab's escape from the punishment of his murder of Abner, so far from "leading him to repentance," as it ought (Romans 2:4), led him to the additional murder of Amasa.
