Ecclesiastes 10:8, is actually meant for the evil doers, that they cannot go unpunished for whatever acts of evil they must have done to fellow human beings, because God hate wickedness.

This Bible text, is simply a warning to us Christians that we should not like Eve, give room for the devil in our hearts .
