Ecclesiastes 8:10

The Inequalities of Life

10 Then I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of holiness, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done. This also is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 8:10

The Inequalities of Life

10 Then too, I saw the wicked buried-those who used to come and go from the holy place and receive praise[1] in the city where they did this. This too is meaningless.

Ecclesiastes 8:10

The Inequalities of Life

10 One time I saw wicked men given a solemn burial in holy ground. When the people returned to the city, they delivered flowery eulogies - and in the very place where wicked acts were done by those very men! More smoke. Indeed.
