Dear Martin,

Ecclesiastes is more of an argument from Solomon (yes I do believe that he is
the author) about life with the knowledge and wisdom of God in one's life
(chapter 12) rather life without God (under the sun). In fact, pointing out
that the poor have a clearer grasp of life than the wealthy or the elite or
the political leaders, because they trust God. Wisdom is putting the
knowledge and fear of the LORD into practice. This verse indicates that the
leaders (elders) of the city were arrogant about the wisdom of the poor.
