Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 23. - The princes... the judges; rather, princes, judges. The entire class of such is meant, not any special individuals (comp. Psalm 107:40; Job 12:19-21). As vanity; or, as chaos - the same word that is used in ver. 17.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(23) That bringeth the princes to nothing.--The words imply, like those of Isaiah 14:9, the prophetic strain of experience. The past is full of the records of kingdoms that are no more; so also shall the future be; mortalia facta peribunt. In "vanity" we have the familiar tohu once more.
