Commentaries and Concordances

GSB:

10:5 There is an evil [which] I have seen under the sun, as an {d} error [which] proceedeth from the ruler:
(d) Meaning that it is an evil thing when they who are in authority fail and do not do their duty.

MHC:

10:4-10 Solomon appears to caution men not to seek redress in a hasty manner, nor to yield to pride and revenge. Do not, in a passion, quit thy post of duty; wait awhile, and thou wilt find that yielding pacifies great offences. Men are not preferred according to their merit. And those are often most forward to offer help, who are least aware of the difficulties, or the consequences. The same remark is applied to the church, or the body of Christ, that all the members should have the same care one for another.
