A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
An objection entertained by Solomon

in the days of his vanity--his apostasy (Ecc 8:14; Job 21:7).

just . . . perisheth-- (Kg1 21:13). Temporal not eternal death (Joh 10:28). But see on Ecc 7:16; "just" is probably a self-justiciary.

wicked . . . prolongeth--See the antidote to the abuse of this statement in Ecc 8:12.

12 Though a sinner [02398] do [06213] evil [07451] an hundred times [03967], and his days be prolonged [0748], yet surely I know [03045] that it shall be well [02896] with them that fear [03373] God [0430], which fear [03372] before [06440] him:
16 Be not righteous [06662] over much [07235]; neither make thyself over [03148] wise [02449]: why shouldest thou destroy [08074] thyself?
28 And I [2504] give [1325] unto them [846] eternal [166] life [2222]; and [2532] they shall [622] never [3364] [1519] [165] perish [622], neither [2532] [3756] shall [726] any [5100] man pluck [726] them [846] out of [1537] my [3450] hand [5495].
13 And there came [0935] in two [08147] men [0582], children [01121] of Belial [01100], and sat [03427] before him: and the men [0582] of Belial [01100] witnessed [05749] against him, even against Naboth [05022], in the presence of the people [05971], saying [0559], Naboth [05022] did blaspheme [01288] God [0430] and the king [04428]. Then they carried him forth [03318] out [02351] of the city [05892], and stoned [05619] him with stones [068], that he died [04191].
7 Wherefore do the wicked [07563] live [02421], become old [06275], yea, are mighty [01396] in power [02428]?
14 There is [03426] a vanity [01892] which is done [06213] upon the earth [0776]; that there be just [06662] men, unto whom it happeneth [05060] according to the work [04639] of the wicked [07563]; again, there be [03426] wicked [07563] men, to whom it happeneth [05060] according to the work [04639] of the righteous [06662]: I said [0559] that this also [01571] is vanity [01892].
8 If thou seest [07200] the oppression [06233] of the poor [07326], and violent [01499] perverting of judgment [04941] and justice [06664] in a province [04082], marvel [08539] not at the matter [02656]: for he that is higher [01364] than the highest [01364] regardeth [08104]; and there be higher [01364] than they [05921].
16 Be not righteous [06662] over much [07235]; neither make thyself over [03148] wise [02449]: why shouldest thou destroy [08074] thyself?
12 Though a sinner [02398] do [06213] evil [07451] an hundred times [03967], and his days be prolonged [0748], yet surely I know [03045] that it shall be well [02896] with them that fear [03373] God [0430], which fear [03372] before [06440] him:
13 But it shall not be well [02896] with the wicked [07563], neither shall he prolong [0748] his days [03117], which are as a shadow [06738]; because he feareth [03373] not before [06440] God [0430].
15 All things have I seen [07200] in the days [03117] of my vanity [01892]: there is [03426] a just [06662] man that perisheth [06] in his righteousness [06664], and there is a wicked [07563] man that prolongeth [0748] his life in his wickedness [07451].
13 Consider [07200] the work [04639] of God [0430]: for who can [03201] make that straight [08626], which he hath made crooked [05791]?
12 I the Preacher [06953] was king [04428] over Israel [03478] in Jerusalem [03389].
5 Better [02896] is it that thou shouldest not vow [05087], than that thou shouldest vow [05087] and not pay [07999].
17 Be not over much [07235] wicked [07561], neither be thou foolish [05530]: why shouldest thou die [04191] before thy time [06256]?
27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs [04911] say [0559], Come [0935] into Heshbon [02809], let the city [05892] of Sihon [05511] be built [01129] and prepared [03559]:
1 Sing [07442], O barren [06135], thou that didst not bear [03205]; break forth [06476] into singing [07440], and cry aloud [06670], thou that didst not travail with child [02342]: for more [07227] are the children [01121] of the desolate [08074] than the children [01121] of the married wife [01166], saith [0559] the LORD [03068].
25 He turned [02015] their heart [03820] to hate [08130] his people [05971], to deal subtilly [05230] with his servants [05650].
10 Come on [03051], let us deal wisely [02449] with them; lest they multiply [07235], and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out [07122] any war [04421], they [01931] join [03254] also unto our enemies [08130], and fight [03898] against us, and so get them up [05927] out of the land [0776].
32 Yet in this thing [01697] ye did not believe [0539] the LORD [03068] your God [0430],
2 For the transgression [06588] of a land [0776] many [07227] are the princes [08269] thereof: but by a man [0120] of understanding [0995] and knowledge [03045] the state [03651] thereof shall be prolonged [0748](8686).
13 But it shall not be well [02896] with the wicked [07563], neither shall he prolong [0748] his days [03117], which are as a shadow [06738]; because he feareth [03373] not before [06440] God [0430].
12 For who knoweth [03045] what is good [02896] for man [0120] in this life [02416], all [04557] the days [03117] of his vain [01892] life [02416] which he spendeth [06213] as a shadow [06738]? for who can tell [05046] a man [0120] what shall be after [0310] him under the sun [08121]?
15 All things have I seen [07200] in the days [03117] of my vanity [01892]: there is [03426] a just [06662] man that perisheth [06] in his righteousness [06664], and there is a wicked [07563] man that prolongeth [0748] his life in his wickedness [07451].
16 Be not righteous [06662] over much [07235]; neither make thyself over [03148] wise [02449]: why shouldest thou destroy [08074] thyself?
17 Be not over much [07235] wicked [07561], neither be thou foolish [05530]: why shouldest thou die [04191] before thy time [06256]?
18 It is good [02896] that thou shouldest take hold [0270] of this; yea, also from this [02088] withdraw [03240] not thine hand [03027]: for he that feareth [03373] God [0430] shall come forth [03318] of them all.
