This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
his own hurt - The tyrannical ruler “hurts” not merely his subjects, but himself; so Rehoboam (1Ki 12:1-33); but the “time” of “hurt” chiefly refers to eternal ruin, incurred by “wickedness,” at “the day of death” (Ecc 8:8), and the “time” of “judgment” (Ecc 8:6; Pro 8:36).
