Ecc 8:10 | MHM | STEP | v. 10 : He has also noticed that wicked rulers often seem to succeed. I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy . They go to court in great honor, stay in power for life, and even have grand funerals. But after they die, people quickly forget them. Their wealth and fame cannot keep them from death or from being forgotten. This, Solomon says, is also vanity (Psalm 49:17 ).

‏ Ecclesiastes 8:10

v. 10: He has also noticed that wicked rulers often seem to succeed. I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy . They go to court in great honor, stay in power for life, and even have grand funerals. But after they die, people quickly forget them. Their wealth and fame cannot keep them from death or from being forgotten. This, Solomon says, is also vanity (Psalm 49:17 ^a).
