“All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt.”
Qohelet's observation of all this in his investigation, studying all that happens under the sun, where one person rules over another to that person's harm, indicates his sociological observation of injustice. The power wielded causes harm; yet the investigation does not urge rebellion but notes the fact. This verse maintains the observational stance characteristic of Ecclesiastes.
