Ecclesiastes - 8:11 Meaning
“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
8:9-13 Solomon observed, that many a time one man rules over another to his hurt, and that prosperity hardens them in their wickedness. Sinners herein deceive themselves. Vengeance comes slowly, but it comes surely. A good man's days have some substance; he lives to a good purpose: a wicked man's days are all as a shadow, empty and worthless. Let us pray that we may view eternal things as near, real, and all-important.
“What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.”
