SIMPLIFYING the WRONG in this WORLD: (Eccl. 3:16,18,19)

And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.  
I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. 
*For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. 
Ecclesiastes 3:16,18,19
"The 
---abuse of power, 
---and the perversion of judgment, 
*have been justly complained of in every age of the world. 
Without the fear of the Lord, man is but vanity; set that aside, and judges will not use their power well. 
*Surely their case is lamentable, the height of whose hopes and wishes is, that they may die like beasts."
Adam Clarke /Matthew Henry
