This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I have observed another great vanity and misdemeanour amongst men.
As an error which proceedeth from the ruler; so the sense is, like those errors which rulers commonly commit. Or rather, which is indeed an error proceeding from the ruler; for the following miscarriage must needs come from those who have power of conferring honour and power, &c. So the Hebrew caph is not a note of likeness, but of reality, as it is Jud_13:23 Neh_7:2 Hos_4:4 5:10, and oft elsewhere.
