The author now advocates obedience and respect for the king (it doesn't sound like King Solomon speaking!)... obedience to the king... not speaking out of turn... no-one has power over the day of his death... or power over the wind... no-one knows the future...I saw the wicked buried who used to receive praise in the city... when the sentence for a crime is delayed hearts of men scheme... I know it will go better with God-fearing men. He then goes on to say that something else meaningless is when righteous men get what the wicked deserve. I commend that we eat, drink and be merry as there is nothing better for us to do. It is simply not possible to understand the ways of God.
