Ecclesiastes 8:9,10

All this have I seen— All this have I observed, when I bestowed all the application that I was capable of on all works which are done under the sun; while man exerciseth an absolute authority over man to hurt him: Ecclesiastes 8:10. Nay, then I saw wicked men buried. Though they came even from the place of prostitution, they shall go and be praised in the city where they have done so. The word קדושׁ kadosh, which I have rendered the place of prostitution, signifies, properly speaking, nothing but the place of him who is set apart; and, from the public prostitutes of both sexes among the heathen, it was applied to the place dedicated to that infamous separation, or consecration of their bodies. It is probable, that our author alluded to some known history in his time. See Desvoeux, p. 561, and the paraphrase on Ecclesiastes 8:14.
