Commentary
Commentary on Ecclesiastes 3:16
Theological / DevotionalThe place of judgment. Or, “the place of justice,” that is, the place dedicated to the administration of justice. Bribery and corruption resulted in enthronement of wickedness in the very courts sacred to the dispensing of justice.
Iniquity. From the same Hebrew word translated “wickedness.” In both instances the word “wickedness” is preferable. By the word “righteousness” Solomon designates the person of the judge, who is supposed to be the embodiment, or personification, of right dealing. Thus the first expression indicates the place, and the second, the person who sits in authority in that place.
