Verse 10
And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.
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.
