Ecclesiastes 8:10
_ _ the wicked — namely, rulers (Ecclesiastes 8:9).
_ _ buried — with funeral pomp by man, though little meriting it (Jeremiah 22:19); but this only formed the more awful contrast to their death, temporal and eternal, inflicted by God (Luke 16:22, Luke 16:23).
_ _ come and gone from the place of the holy — went to and came from the place of judicature, where they sat as God’s representatives (Psalms 82:1-6), with pomp [Holden]. Weiss translates, “Buried and gone (utterly), even from the holy place they departed.” As Joab, by Solomon’s command, was sent to the grave from the “holy place” in the temple, which was not a sanctuary to murderers (Exodus 21:14; 1 Kings 2:28, 1 Kings 2:31). The use of the very word “bury” there makes this view likely; still “who had come and gone” may be retained. Joab came to the altar, but had to go from it; so the “wicked rulers” (Ecclesiastes 8:9) (including high priests) came to, and went from, the temple, on occasions of solemn worship, but did not thereby escape their doom.
_ _ forgotten — (Proverbs 10:7). |
Ecclesiastes 8:10
And so — In like manner. The wicked — Wicked princes or rulers. Buried — With state and pomp. Who — Had administered publick justice, which is frequently signified by the phrase of coming in and going out before the people. The holy — The throne or tribunal seems to be so called here, to aggravate their wickedness, who being advanced by God into so high and sacred a place, betrayed so great a trust. Where — They lived in great splendor, and were buried with great magnificence. This — That men should so earnestly thirst after glory, which is so soon extinct. |
Ecclesiastes 8:10
And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and (i) gone from the (k) place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this [is] also vanity.
(i) That is, others as wicked as they.
(k) They who feared God and worshipped him as he had appointed. |
