Barnes' Notes
Which is done upon the earth - The instance of vanity, to which these words are applied, is the seeming inequality of God' s justice; but if they are considered in connection with the profession of personal faith in God' s absolute justice Ecclesiastes 8:12, the conclusion is irresistible, that, whatever reason the Preacher had for reserve in declaring his belief, he certainly looked forward to final judgment in a future state of existence (compare Ecclesiastes 3:17; Ecclesiastes 12:14).
